Interview suspects, search cabins and enjoy the general splendor of the historically rich orient express.

the game, though based on the novel, has a completely different storyline - which is great since it doesn't spoil the book (if you haven't read it yet)

last night smith and i went to the book store. after he's done looking for what he looks for... i like to do a lap around the store and peruse all the covers.

yesterday these got ALL of my attention. new agatha christie covers! be still my heart - because I absolutely love agatha christie.. these are mostly poirot covers, though i am partial to miss marple myself.

good excuse to reread some classics? definitely!
