For what it's worth, I don't think it can be The Mystery of the Blue Train (another Poirot novel) either, as that doesn't feature an avalanche or snow as far as I can remember. It must have been nearly fifty years ago that I read it.

I went up to the attic and searched through my Christie novels. I was right about the big amounts of snow, but wrong :oops: about a train being effected by the snow.
The novel is called "The Sittaford Mystery".

The Sittaford Mystery is an excellent book,well worth reading or even re-reading.

I see you haven't put any more clothes onto Pip and Bets yet Pete. Maybe you wrote that on purpose, tongue in cheek?
Enjoy your anniversary in Chester.

Agatha wrote a few stories with a train as a central character. The Plymouth Express is one, but i don't think it included snow. The Sittaford Mystery is a great book, but doesn't feature passengers stranded on a snowbound train.

Is this a case of "spot the deliberate mistake Pete? You make Larry sound like Sherlock Holmes with a cape. We all know it's 'cap'. :)
