But the video game Agatha Christie – Murder on the Orient Express decides screw all that, and is set in 2023. Murder on the Orient Express is like the height of classic Christie’s Poirot novels, easily one of the more famous and most-adapted ones.

It’s not that difficult of a concept to understand “this was set in a different time when things were different.” So the modern push towards “fixing” these titles for contemporary readers drives me bonkers. I recently reread a bunch of Lois Duncan books but they were newer versions, and despite being set in like the 70s every had cell phones (just forgot them at home a lot, or the batteries drained a lot). ![]() I know exactly where I stand on modernizing books from the past: I despise it with every fibre of my being. ![]()
