This was a much older, bitterer Poirot in Orient Express.

And ... they're going to film Curtain - Poirot's last case! With Suchet!
In a way, Curtain seems the perfect complement to Murder on the Orient Express. There are certainly parallels.

Spoiler:
In both books, the murderers escaped having to face the legal system.


Spoiler:
After Curtain, I was almost afraid to read Nemesis! I'm glad Miss Marple didn't meet a similar fate!
