I've just finished "Murder on the Orient Express" by Agatha Christie. Her 20th book, originally published in 1934. What more needs to be said about this one, other than that it's one of the all-time classics of crime fiction? A wonderful read.
A side-note: at the very start of the book, Poirot is returning to England by train after clearing up an affair in Syria; that affair is revealed in the book "Murder in Mesopotamia", published a couple of years after this one.
