Murder on the Orient Express is based on the famous Agatha Christie novel of the same name. The story revolves around Christie’s famous character, detective Hercule Poirot, who is called back from Istanbul to London on urgent business. Poirot books a first-class compartment on the Orient Express, run by his friend and former colleague, Monsieur Bouc, and while aboard the Orient Express, Poirot meets a host of peculiar characters including the angry businessman, Samuel Ratchett, who demands Poirot investigate a series of ominous letters that have been sent to Ratchett, threatening his life. When a snowdrift halts the Orient Express in its tracks, Ratchett is found stabbed multiple times in his locked train compartment. Poirot is tasked by Monsieur Bouc to solve the murder, as the killer could still be in their midst. Who dunit? Attend this fabulous OLLI at ISU event and find out!
