    Through reading the Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie, it was very attention-grabbing to read how the past can and will come back to haunt you. The Murder on the Orient Express greatly justifies how ones pasts actions can catch up to them for the worse. Christie is able to relive this crime throughout the book by several different key efforts. It is obvious that after reading a few chapters that Christie incorporated several facts from the Lindbergh case in order to really allow the reader to feel the anger of how justice was served within the court systems. Back when the Lindbergh case happened the court systems were not truthful to the actions of the person who committed the crime. The case that is talked about in this novel is the death of Daisy Armstrong and trying to achieve justice for the actions that Mr. Ratchett committed.

As of now this is no longer a thing within the jury system do to the jury being at random and not being able to be associated with the person in question. The person…

    ☆☆☆☆This review contains spoilers☆☆☆☆ Hercule Poirot solves yet another crime that happens in his general vicinity. Sometimes, I believe it would be in the best interest of the public for the authorities to abandon Poirot on an abandoned island. Certain individuals may bring about the dark side in humans and push them into murder, though those certain individuals are innocent of instigating the crime. This brings to my mind the tv show called Haven, where people innocently have troubles, which…
