![]() ![]() Milan is an author on a mission to stop the whitewashing of history, and this book is also obviously a love letter to what makes her happy, and what her own heritage is. In broad strokes Milan is continuing to endeavor to pursue her feminist romance mission but adding even more to the expected tropes of historic romances set in England. He has reasons for his multi-year absence, and having never given Chloe or his other friends his true name, and he is a man on a mission:all he has to do is convince Chloe to make room for a mischievous trickster in her life, then disclose that in all the years they’ve known each other, he’s failed to mention his real name, his title… and the minor fact that he owns her entire village. ![]() Jeremy Wentworth, going by his psuedonyms Jeremy Yu and Posh Jim, has returned to the tiny village he once visited with the hope of wooing Chloe.

I recommend buying the dvd of Suchet’s actual trip on the historic and romantic train. As a Catholic, I was confused by this infusion into Poirot’s character. Very little character development for any of the suspects, Poirot didn’t seem his regular self either. “After seeing the special with David Suchet on the magnificent train I was quite excited about last night’s broadcast. I enjoyed the comments so much, that I decided to write a response in this entry. There were a few comments that were posted about the recent Murder on the Orient Express television movie – starring the wonderful David Suchet (as Hercule Poirot), which aired on Sunday, July 11, 2010. ![]() |
