The moviemakers took lots of "creative liberty". *facepalm*

Always kills me when they do that. How hard is it to stick to what you've read???

Well, in comparison with the book, absolutely.
They left out Aunt Beast, made the Friendly Medium MALE(?) and somewhat creepy. The antagonist (the name evades me at the moment) was messed up. The three Mrs's were also messed up....
There was more.

Sounds horrible!

When you mentioned Murder on the Orient Express, I remembered that I really enjoyed And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.


I generally enjoy locked door mysteries, especially of the murder variety- One of Us is Lying and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder are amazing.

I'll have to look for those...
I'm not usually into murder mysteries, but Murder on the Orient Express had me turning pages like crazy. So did Sherlock Holmes.

Sometimes I wonder if the movie directors have ever read the books....

I'd definitely do A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. It's about a highschool girl who, for her capstone project, looks into a cold case in her town surrounding the murder of a teenage girl. Then it dredges up a WHOLE bunch of stuff and she begins to get threatening notes and stuff that gives the general vibe of 'STOP MESSING WITH THIS OR GET STABBED". It's super well written, too. it's really a page turner and I can't describe it more without spoilers.

I read waaaaaaaaaaaay more than average. I've stopped counting.

Same.
I can read 500-page books in two or three days if I'm not busy.
I voraciously devour them.

I used to read so much when I was younger. Books and books all year long. Hundreds. But the older I get, the less time I have to read. Sigh
