Oh, good to know! Years ago, a friend inadvertently spoiled me on Murder on the Orient Express and I've never gotten over it ... ok, I'm exaggerating a bit. But I read it and, knowing what to expect, got little enjoyment from the experience.
I'm reading slowly and only two chapters in but it's great so far ... and I finally learned why UK policemen are called bobbies; I've always been curious (though apparently not enough to google it
).
