By the step leading up into the sleeping-car stood a young French lieutenant, resplendent in uniform, conversing with a small man muffled up to the ears, of whom nothing was visible but a pink-tipped nose and the two points of an upward-curled moustache.
It was freezingly cold, and this job of seeing off a distinguished stranger was not one to be envied, but Lieutenant Dubose performed his part manfully.
(Tuesday Teaser from pg. 3 of Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie)
Classic!
I never read the story, but saw the film…. so am familiar.
I should read the book as I did love the movie.

Great. It’s nice to know that more people read Agatha Christie. 🙂
This is my TT for this week:

Murder on the Orient Express was one of the first Agatha Christie mysteries I had read. I really feel like revisiting all her books.
You have a classic! This is one of the greatest reads ever. Bravo excellent choice of a teaser.
A most excellent book! This was one of the first Christies I read. Loved it and have seen two movie versions. I especially love the more recent one with David Suchet (and if you haven’t seen it, I also highly recommend the special he did, David Suchet on Board the Orient Express).
Love this book!
Of course I am a die hard Agatha Christie fan!
