The Mystery of the Blue Train (Classicus Edition)

Agatha Christie

Summary

The Mystery of the Blue Train sweeps readers into a world of wealth, desire, and deadly secrets aboard one of Europe’s most glamorous express trains. When the wealthy heiress Ruth Kettering is found murdered in her luxurious compartment, her famous ruby missing, the scandal shocks high society from London to the Riviera. As rumors swirl and motives abound—from jealous lovers to ruthless thieves—the stage is set for one of Hercule Poirot’s most intriguing cases.     Called in to investigate, Poirot must unravel a complex web of deception that stretches across the glittering Côte d’Azur. Every suspect seems to have something to hide, and even those closest to Ruth harbor secrets that could turn deadly. With his trademark precision, Poirot studies each clue—a smudged fingerprint, a broken necklace, a mysterious stranger—while navigating the social pretensions and hidden passions of the rich and reckless.     Christie’s masterful storytelling shines in this atmospheric mystery, combining the elegance of 1920s travel with the dark undercurrents of betrayal and greed. The Mystery of the Blue Train delivers not only a tightly plotted whodunit but also a vivid portrait of human desires gone tragically awry. For fans of classic detective fiction, this novel is an invitation to ride in style while testing your wits against the great Hercule Poirot himself.
