The Mystery of the Blue Train: A Positronic Book (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781515471103)

A luxurious train, a priceless ruby, and a murder that draws Hercule Poirot into a web of secrets, jealousy, and deception.

When the glamorous Ruth Kettering boards the celebrated Blue Train bound for the French Riviera, she carries with her a magnificent ruby and the burden of a failing marriage. By the time the train reaches its destination, Ruth is dead and the jewel has vanished.

Among the passengers is Hercule Poirot, who soon discovers that nearly everyone connected with the victim has something to hide. A suspicious husband, a former lover, mysterious strangers, and competing claims on a fortune all complicate the investigation. As Poirot examines motives and contradictions, the elegant journey becomes a tightly constructed puzzle in which appearances prove dangerously misleading.

The Mystery of the Blue Train combines international glamour, romantic intrigue, and Christie's trademark plotting in a classic Poirot investigation filled with false leads, concealed identities, and carefully guarded secrets.
