Agatha Christie wrote 60 mystery novels, 33 of which follow Detective Hercule Poirot on his adventures. Murder on the Orient Express is considered to be Christie’s greatest mystery novel and a conerstone of the mystery genre. Christie’s inspiration for the underlying plot came from a headline in 1932 about the abduction of pilot Charles Lindberg’s son. The real life abduction, which lead to extortion and murder, had not yet been solved when Christie’s novel was published. Christie decided to set her ficticious murder on the Orient Express, a train she had always dreamed of travelling on.
