I got this paperback from the ongoing charity-sale shelves at a local Hannaford's. It's Christie's classic tale of a mystery set on a moving train, and it has inspired a number of screen adaptations, including one coming out this year.
Despite its status as a classic, it's not among my favorite Christie novels - mainly because it's just too intricate, spending too much time setting up the impossible situation and then too much time explaining it all. Well, "too much" for my taste, anyway! But if you like intricate Golden-Age mysteries, this should work for you...
[There's a TV Tropes page on the book and some of its adaptations.]
