About this book
When the wealthy American heiress Ruth Kettering is found strangled in her compartment aboard the luxurious Blue Train bound for the Riviera, her famous ruby gone, Hercule Poirot happens to be traveling the same line and takes up the case. The suspects run from her cold, cash-hungry husband and his mistress to a smooth con man and a ring of jewel thieves, and Poirot must sort genuine grief from convenient alibis. Working alongside a quiet young Englishwoman drawn into the affair, he applies his usual patient logic to a tangle of unhappy marriages and hidden motives. A polished entry in the Poirot canon, it delivers the elegant misdirection Christie fans expect.
