- Résumé : "The Rome Express" by Arthur Griffiths is a gripping detective novel set aboard a train traveling from Rome to Paris. The story unfolds with the discovery of a murder in the sleeping car, where a man is found dead under suspicious circumstances. The train, having made its last stop at Laroche, is now nearing Paris, and the passengers are thrown into a state of alarm and confusion. The narrative follows the investigation led by the astute Chief of the Detective Service, M. Floçon, who is tasked with unraveling the mystery before the train reaches its final destination. The passengers, including a mix of English and French nationals, are detained for questioning. Among them is the enigmatic Contessa di Castagneto, whose presence and actions draw particular scrutiny. As the investigation progresses, M. Floçon discovers several clues, including a piece of lace and a length of black jet beading, suggesting the involvement of a woman. The Countess's maid, Hortense Petitpré, is notably absent, raising further suspicions about her possible role in the crime. The narrative intricately weaves together the testimonies of the passengers, the forensic examination of the crime scene, and the deductive reasoning of the investigators. The tension escalates as the detectives piece together the events leading up to the murder, exploring motives and alibis. The story delves into themes of deception, identity, and justice, keeping readers engaged as they follow the twists and turns of the investigation. Arthur Griffiths masterfully crafts a tale of suspense and intrigue, set against the backdrop of a luxurious train journey. The novel captures the essence of a classic whodunit, with its well-drawn characters and a plot that keeps readers guessing until the very end.
