The Mystery of the Blue Train (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)
We meet Hercule Poirot aboard Le Train Blue, bound for the French Riviera. What begins as an opulent voyage turns macabre when an American heiress is found dead of strangulation in her compartment and a famous ruby, "Heart of Fire" is missing from her belongings. The intrigue deepens as Poirot discovers a web of suspicion involving fellow passengers: Ruth's paramour, the Comte de la Roche; her estranged husband, Derek Kettering; Kettering's spurned Parisian lover, the vengeful Mirelle; and an infamous jewel thief known as "The Marquis." With his legendary charm, élan, and powers of perception, Poirot navigates through the intricate puzzle to expose the elusive culprit who eludes all but Poirot's discerning eye. This Warbler Classics edition includes a biographical note.

Praise for this book
"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."
-The New York Times (1928)
"The reader will not be disappointed when the distinguished Belgian on psychological grounds...builds up inferences almost out of the air, supports them by a masterly array of negative evidence, and lands his fish to the surprise of everyone."
-Times Literary Supplement (1928)
