PLOT

Midnight on the Orient Express

One night in 1926, the Orient Express—the ultimate in luxurious train travel—is speeding East toward Istanbul. Passengers include the famous, the wealthy, and the glamorous elite of high society—or at least, people who claim to be members of the elite. Aboard a train, who can tell if anyone is really who they claim to be?
Also aboard is the best-selling mystery novelist Agrippa Twistie. She seems inspired by the trip, as her typewriter can be heard late into the night, busily tapping out her latest story. "And you're all in it!" she declared at dinner earlier. “My readers love it when I include unsavory details about the rich and famous—as some of you already know, and some of you will soon find out!”
In the morning, she is found dead in her compartment. She was stabbed in the heart, right through a page of her half-completed manuscript. The other pages are missing.
Someone in this train car killed her! Was someone trying to silence her? Was someone seeking revenge? Or was there some other reason? You are there too—maybe YOU did it!
