Agatha Christie based her novel Murder on the Orient Express on the kidnapping and murder of Charles Lindbergh's son in 1932. Two other notable events helped inspire her novel: Agatha Christie's first journey on the Orient Express in late 1928, and a blizzard near Çerkezköy, Turkey, that marooned the Orient Express for six days just a few months later, in February 1929. Ken Ludwig’s clever adaptation boasts all the glamor, intrigue and suspense of Dame Agatha’s celebrated novel, with a healthy dose of humor to quicken the pace. All aboard the Orient Express - unless you have a secret you’re hiding!
