Hoping to make a clean break from a fractured marriage, Agatha Christie boards the Orient Express in disguise. But unlike her famous detective Hercule Poirot, she can't neatly unravel the mysteries she encounters on this fateful journey.

Agatha isn't the only passenger on board with secrets. Her cabinmate Katharine Keeling's first marriage ended in tragedy, propelling her toward a second relationship mired in deceit. Nancy Nelson - newly married but carrying another man's child - is desperate to conceal the pregnancy and teeters on the brink of utter despair. Each woman hides her past from the others, ferociously guarding her secrets. But as the train bound for the Middle East speeds down the track, the parallel courses of their lives shift to intersect - with lasting repercussions.

Filled with evocative imagery, suspense, and emotional complexity, The Woman on the Orient Express explores the bonds of sisterhood forged by shared pain and the power of secrets.

Most of the time I buy audio books because of the genera and rating without always reading the summary of what the book is about. Bring a Netflix binge watcher of Poirot, I was pleasantly surprised that this book was about Agatha Christie. It was beautifully written and had heartwarming story. It's one I will certainly listen to again.

A great read

A startling tale of three women thrown together on a train. What followed changed all their lives. Each entered the train with singular issues. Literally thrown together, their destinies became intertwined. All as the train moved on to its destination. A peep into the personal life of Agatha Christie.

First to address the narrator. She is very good in her delivery. It is fairly easy to distinguish the character whom is speaking. I was not bothered by "accents" used. Now to the story. I sincerely appreciate all the "facts" that the author incorporated into her story. She is clearly well versed in Agatha's life. I enjoyed the author's use of historical fiction and it inspired me to get Agatha's autobiography on audio. The book is not full of foul language nor excessive descriptive bedroom scenes. It is certainly a good choice for a vacation book.

I loved this book. it was a period piece for a modern audience. The characters are all whole and mirror those from Christie's novels. highly recommend for anyone looking for a good yarn.

Justine Eyre is a brilliant narrator, which is why I selected this book on Audible. I enjoyed the story as well. I know nothing of the real life of Agatha Christie so I have no reason to judge if there is any truth to this account. I loved it.

It's not often I find a book that truly surprises me in a good way. While browsing I found this book, read the title and purchased it because I am a lifelong Agatha Christie fan. Listening to this book is like excavating a lost Christie work. Finished it in one continuous listen. Will return to this book time and time again just as I do to Christie's own novels. And it's less than $10!

Wonderful read! Agatha would be proud!
