An international cast of suspects, all passengers on the crowded train, are speeding through the snowy European landscape when a bizarre and terrible murder brings them to an abrupt halt. One of their glittering number lies dead in his cabin, stabbed a mysterious twelve times. There is no lack of clues for Poirot - but which clue is real and which is a clever plant? Poirot realises that this time he is dealing with a murderer of enormous cunning and that in a case frought with fear and inconstencies only one thing is certain - the murderer is still aboard the train waiting to strike again.

But at the hands of a maniac, a serial killer, it becomes a very complicated business.

The novel that introduced Tommy and Tuppence, a bantering pair of 1920s bright young things who solve a mystery together while falling for each other. The Great War is over and jobs are scarce. Tommy Beresford and Prudence "Tuppence" Cowley, who were friends before the war, run into each other in London and discover they are both equally short of money and opportunities. On a whim, they decide to start a business, advertising themselves as "The Young Adventurers." Their first job leads them into a series of increasingly dangerous situations involving international spies, a society beauty, a Russian count, the wreck of the Lusitania, an amnesia patient, an American millionaire, and a fiendishly clever arch-criminal known only as "Mr. Brown." By the time the dust settles, all the puzzle pieces have been fit together--and the young couple have realized their feelings for each other and become engaged.

Det var en man som gick på en konstig väg. Han fann en konstig slant på en konstig åkerteg. Han köpte sig en konstig katt som tog en konstig mus. Sen bodde de tillsammans i ett konstigt hus. Tre Gavlar heter det konstiga huset i en av Londons mest fashionabla områden. Där bor tre generationer av familjen Leonides tillsammans i bästa sämja. Men när familjens överhuvud, den ofantligt rike Aristide Leonides, dör under mystiska omständigheter förändras allt. Det står plötsligt klart att någon i familjen är en mördare, och misstankarna riktas omedelbart mot Aristides 50 år yngre änka. Men vem är egentligen skyldig, och varför har detta mord begåtts? Konstiga huset utkom år 1949 och är tillsammans med Huset på udden Agatha Christies personliga favorit. Bokens upplösning var så pass chockerande att hennes amerikanska förlag ville att hon skulle skriva ett nytt slut, men Christie vägrade.
