What is your favorite work inspired by Murder on the Orient Express? (lemmy.zip)

I just finished this book today and I often like to read about how popular works inspired others. Internet searches give me 1000 results for what inspired Christie, but basically nothing for what this book inspired. I could name several, the movie "The Commuter" , the game "The Last Express", the "Knives Out" series, and the Adventure Time episode "Mystery Train".

I'd love to know more works inspired by hers, or any general thoughts anyone would like to share on the book ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

If TTRPGs are your bag, Call of Cthulhu's Horror on the Orient Express is quite well regarded. It regularly comes up in discussions about the best campaigns of all time, all game systems considered.

That...is a combination I did not expect. I'll have to look into that
