The train is snowbound in the Transylvania Mountains: then the murder of one occupant of the Calais Coach. Not to worry, Poirot is on the scene. Unfortunately, every other occupant is a suspect. To the amazement of all, the invincible Poirot, in this dearth of resources, uncovers everyones sordid background, including that of the corpse. Interesting as to how everyones background is linked together as he arrives at the solution as to who did it. I applaud his decision; unrealistic as it is, it is justifiable.
