The Mystery of the Blue Train

by Agatha Christie Narrated by Charles Armstrong

Overview

Heading for the French Rivieria, recently retired detective Hercule Poirot boards Le Train Bleu in London. This luxury trip, however, quickly turns south-in more ways than one. When the train arrives in Nice, France, American heiress Ruth Kettering is found murdered, and the Heart of Fire ruby that just came into her possession from her father has vanished in an apparent robbery. Add in a jilted husband, a secret lover, and a supposed curse on the missing gemstone, and it's a mystery that just might lure Poirot from his supposed retirement.

Editorial Reviews

A truly honorable thriller in the classic tradition.

Times Literary Supplement

Masterly.

New York Herald Tribune

A truly honorable thriller in the classic tradition.

1928 New York Times Books Review

Nominally Poirot has retired, but retirement means no more to him than it does to a prima donna. Let a good murder mystery come within his ken, and he just can’t be kept out of it.”

Times Literary Supplement (London)

The reader will not be disappointed when the distinguished Belgian on psychological grounds declines to suspect the arrested husband and…lands his fish to the surprise of everyone.”
