I love Murder on the Orient Express. I know that it's a Christie novel and the point is to make an impossibly convoluted murder bur that one really takes the cake. Linda Arden [major spoilers for a book written in 1934] had *three* guys working in positions of trust for Ratchett, at literally any point in time she could have had him stabbed to death in an alley & his pockets turned inside out but noooooo. She has to organize a family reunion, get everyone in their little costumes, in a closed space, so they can stab a man to death together. And then a world-famous detective shows up a sneeze away and her response is not to cancel or wait until he's off the train, but just throw in some more improv into the homicide scheme. Places, people, we're going to put on the best talent show ritual murder this locomotive has ever seen
