Murder on the Orient Express 东方快车谋杀案 总结 观后感.doc

Murder on the Orient Express Agatha Christie, the worlds best known mystery writer, is the writer who I love best. Her writing career has spanned more than half a century, and the character she created, the brilliant litter Belgian Hercule Poirot, is a confident, humorous and smart man. I have read many of her novels, such as Death on the Nile, Endless Night and Murder on the Orient Express. Among those novels，I admire the Murder on the Orient Express most. This novel centered on an orient express, and on this train are people, of all classes, of all nationalities, of all ages. These strangers to one another, were brought together. They slept and ate under one roof, they could not get away from each other. In addition, it seemed that everyone had his own story and tried to hide himself deep. At last, the peaceful atmosphere was broken by a murder of M. Ratchett and Poirot, a famous detective， engaged in investigating this murder. M. Ratchett, a rich American businessman, was stabbed for 12 times of different strengths. And there was no other evidences except for a womans handkerchief with an embroidered initial—H in its corner; a gold watch with the hands pointing to a quarter past one and a pipe. As the train ran into the snowdrift and no one could have left the train since M. Ratchett was killed, Poirot believed that the murderer was still with them—on the train. Therefore, Poirot started his investigation in the Istanbul-Calais coach (the first-class cabin ) and the train conductor, Pierre Michel, was the first one to be asked. But M. Bouc, the director or the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons Lits, promised that Pierre was thoroughly respectable and honest. And the followings were Mr. MacQueen, secretary of M. Ratchett; Edward Henry Masterman, the valet; Mrs. Hubbard, the American lady; Greta Ohlsson, the Swedish lady; Natalia Dragomiroff, the Russian princess; the count and Countess Andrenyi; the Colonel Arbuthnot; Mr. Hardman
