Poirot: Murder on the Orient Express Premieres Tomorrow, July 11th, on PBS

PBS Masterpiece Mystery! Murder on the Orient Express

Tomorrow, Sunday July 11th, PBS's Masterpiece Mystery! airs Murder on the Orient Express, the first of three new episodes in Series X of Poirot. (Check your listings for local air times.) It is based on the 1934 novel of the same title by Agatha Christie, one her most famous works.

On his way to Istanbul, Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) is called back to London for a case, and finds transport via the opulent Orient Express train. An ornery American businessman, Samuel Ratchett, interrupts Poirot's luxurious trip with a cryptic plea for help — he's seeking penance, but may be murdered in the meantime. When the train is sidelined by a snowdrift and Ratchett is found dead, Poirot becomes embroiled in one of the most fiendish cases of his career. The suspects are numerous and colorful — an erudite Russian princess, an English colonel, a pushy American matron and a devout Swedish missionary among others. The evidence suggests a shadowy assassin may have boarded the train during a stop in order to commit the murder, but is there an unforgivable evil even closer at hand?
