The programme visits the Bibliotheca Wittockiana to discuss one of the bestselling crime novels of all time: Murder on the Orient Express, in which that shrewdest of detectives Hercule Poirot hunts for a killer aboard one of the world's most luxurious passenger trains.

On hand to discuss Christie鈥檚 enduring popularity, are acclaimed crime novelist Sophie Hannah, who has brought the renowned sleuth back to life again with her sequels, and James Prichard, the novelist鈥檚 great-grandson.

Producer: Karen Holden.
