 1. Tell in your own words what you read week

 The clues and circumstances are very mysterious. Some of the stab wounds are very deep and some are glancing blow. Some of them appear o have been inflicted by a right-handed  person and some by a left-handed person. Poirot finds several more clues in the victim's cabin and on board the train, including a linen hand kerchief with the letter ''H'' on it, a pipe cleaner, and a button from a conductor's uniform. All of these clue suggest that the murder or murders were somewhat sloppy. Each clue seemingly points to different suspects, which suggests that some of the clues were planted. By reconstructing some bits of a burned letter, Poirot soon discovers that Mr. Ratchett was a notorious fugitive from the U.S. named Cassetti.
