HotOE is definitely a good one and and a mainstay of the CoC greatest hits collection. However, when you say your group has run through one campaign previously, do you mean that's your only experience with CoC? If so, I would recommend starting smaller with some single scenarios to build a little group experience. HotOE is perhaps the most complicated module ever published for CoC, both for player and Keeper and shouldn't be taken lightly.

However, if I've misread you and your group does have CoC experience, I would recommend it. That said, it isn't my main recommendation. You should look into 'Masks of Nyarlathotep,' which is in many RPG reviewers view the best horror campaign ever published. Certainly it has become the quintessential CoC campaign. It has the same scale and scope as Orient Express, and a similar play time, but it is much smoother to run without sacrificing difficulty. Also it's only $35, which is much nicer than the $115 price tag on HotOE. If you want to make it even bigger and badder version, there is the massive Masks of Nyarlathotep Companion, which was kickstarted by Sixtystone Press. It's rather tricky to get a hold of at the moment since it has yet to be released to non-backers, but if you email Adam at Sixtystone, you can become a late backer and get access to it now.

I believe the one you can get on Amazon is for 6th edition as it has it on the back cover; as long as it doesn't look like the older versions on the yog-sothoth link below or the 7th edition pdf I think you should be good
