Murder on the Orient Express

In 1934, famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot solves a theft at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.

During the night, Poirot is awakened by strange noises in the hall next to his cabin and sees someone in a red kimono rushing down the aisleway.

Daisy's death caused her mother, Sonia, to go into premature labour, killing her and the baby, and out of grief her father, Colonel John Armstrong, killed himself.
