Description

"The train is as dangerous as any other place. Perhaps more so, because one cannot leave it."

Board the legendary Le Train Bleu as it thunders from London toward the sun-drenched French Riviera. Among the elite passengers is Ruth Kettering, the daughter of an American millionaire, traveling with a secret and a king's ransom in jewels—including the world-famous "Heart of Fire" ruby. But when the train arrives at Nice, Ruth is found dead, and the priceless gems have vanished.

Poirot at His Finest: Fortunately for justice, the world's greatest detective, Hercule Poirot, is also on board. Amidst a sea of suspects—from a disgruntled husband and a jealous mistress to an international jewel thief—Poirot must use his "little grey cells" to untangle a web of greed and deception. This is Christie at her most atmospheric, blending the opulence of the roaring twenties with a cold-blooded crime that seems impossible to solve.

A Journey into Deception: The Mystery of the Blue Train is a masterclass in the locked-room style of mystery (though the "room" is hurtling across the countryside). With its intricate plot and vivid setting, it explores the dark side of wealth and the lengths to which people will go for a legendary prize. It remains an essential read for anyone who loves a classic, sophisticated "Whodunit."
