Murder on the Orient Express The story's first true publication was the US serialisation in six instalments in the "Saturday Evening Post" from 30 September to 4 November 1933 (Volume 206, Numbers 14 to 19). The title was "Murder in the Calais Coach", and it was illustrated by William C. Hoople. The UK serialisation appeared after book publication, appearing in three instalments in the "Grand Magazine", in March, April, and May 1934 (Issues 349 to 351). This version was abridged from the book version (losing some 25% of the text), was without chapter divisions, and named the Russian princess as Dragiloff instead of Dragomiroff. Advertisements
