Title: The perfect place to start -
Review: This is the perfect place to start if you intend to read murder mystery books with any regularity. The story has been done in plays and movies and on TV for decades but it is only in reading it that you catch the early clues and nuances of the characters. Your knowledge is broadened to the allure of foreign languages and refined mannerisms of different nationalities."Murder on the Orient Express" is an easy read. The foreign expressions are brief and easily researched if one wishes to translate them. The descriptions of clothing, appearance, and behavior are easily visualized and not a hindrance to the flow and enjoyment of the narrative. Certainly I would recommend this book to eighth grade readers and up. Murder is a serious crime and in reading this story young readers become acquainted with the deductive and methodical system of reasoning. Education is advanced when "Murder on the Orient Express" is required reading in class.
