I was hoping for a Christie version of events and that is not fair to the author. Maybe it was the title which drew me in.
Journeying in very bad weather to Scotland, the train is forced to stop and with a bunch of very mixed characters the story was certainly varied, till it went wrong and then murder happened not just once or twice but thrice. At least two murders one death by causes suspected not confirmed.
The enforced occupation in a small area of a dozen people is not easy. The not so nice characteristics begin to appear - the sniping, the off hand remarks, and even the most tolerant can get irritated.
The story unravels very slowly, the endings I never saw but human nature at its best and worst amply displayed.
A good read for anytime of the year - again I would say title misleading.

Three murders?! (Well, two murders and one death...still...that's a lot!)
