Discussion of Murder on the Orient Express after reading Part 1:

• Recap characters: Who could be the murderer?
• Poirot (likely not the murderer)
• The Conductor
• Owner of the line - Monsieur Bouc
• Doctor
• MacQueen - secretary
• Young Dwedish woman
• Young english girl and guy from india - suspicious. Are they having an affair?
• Princess Dragomiroff - super ugly and commanding

• Circumstances of the Murder: 
• Secret door inside the room?
• Locked from the inside?
• Why was the train overbooked?
• Is it possible that there is a secret entrance? Then most likely the conductor and Bouc would know best.

• Poirot is a reliable narrator. What is an unreliable narrator?
• Someone who doesn’t relay information accurately. Leaves things out because of bias or insanity
• Why did the book start so slowly? Possibly the information will be relevant later.
