Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express Hints

I can't keep track of the characters!

  • There are an awful lot of them, aren't there? Agatha Christie knew that it's hard to keep track sometimes, so she often listed them at the beginning of her books, and in fact she does so in this case; look at the "Cast of Characters" section in the book included with the game for her one-sentence descriptions of each person's personality.

    For a more succinct guide, here's an alphabetic list of everyone in this game, with nationality, occupation, and berth on the train:
