The language was overwrought and paragraphs unnecessarily wordy, and the characters' speech was stuffed with so much contemporary language - 'good eggs', 'shilly-shallying' that I felt the author was trying overly hard to cement the period setting in the reader's head. Both became very irritating as the book went on. I thought it would be pretty neat if a perfect murder expert could write a piece about The Perfect Murder.” New Year’s Eve. A car crash on a lonely road brings famous but troubled singer Danny Sierra and his extended family to an isolated holiday cottage in rural England. From the moment they arrive, a sequence of inexplicable events begins to occur… and then the lights go out.

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS at BATH THEATRE ROYAL MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS at BATH THEATRE ROYAL
Murder at the Theatre Royale has a small cast: there's Scrooge, played by the leading man; one actor playing all the ghosts; then Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim, plus a couple of theatrical agents, a stage manager and his bohemian scriptwriter sister. They are all suspects.But just after midnight, the Orient Express screeches to a halt, marooned by a snowdrift and by morning, one passenger is dead. Nobody can leave. A guard appears to be missing. A killer is in their midst. Poirot must deploy his ‘little grey cells’ on the most difficult case of his career: one that will force him to question his deepest beliefs. There is plenty of humour in both plays and the plots feature a man eager to kill his wife so that he can cash in an insurance policy. Daphne gets down to business, but another odd thing is that no one seems to seriously question her credentials and her editor seems happy to give her free rein. There is another murder and the body is discovered by Daphne, of course, and then all the pieces fall into place. Fortunately for all concerned, including the reader, the whole investigation takes less than 48 hours and Daphne still files her copy and gets home in time to spend Christmas with her aged mother.
