Books with title The Blue Train

The daughter of an American millionaire dies on a train en route for Nice...When the luxurious Blue Train arrives at Nice, a guard attempts to wake serene Ruth Kettering from her slumbers. But she will never wake again -- for a heavy blow has killed her, disfiguring her features almost beyond recognition. What is more, her precious rubies are missing. The prime suspect is Ruth's estranged husband, Derek. Yet Poirot is not convinced, so he stages an eerie re-enactment of the journey, complete with the murderer on board!

Aboard the luxurious Blue Train running from London to the Riviera, pampered millionaire's daughter Ruth Kettering is murdered, her expensive jewels stolen. Amid talk of an infamous jewel thief known only as the 'Marquis' being responsible, Poirot's suspicion falls closer to home, to Ruth's unhappy marriage. And sure enough, a witness comes forward claiming to have seen Ruth's flighty husband Derek entering her compartment before she was murdered. Christie claimed that this was one of the books she liked least, however the critics did not agree with her. The Times Literary Supplement said, '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.'

Thomas and Cat just expected a normal, boring train journey to France. Definitely not for any murders to happen… After a famous pop star dies, and the train driver refuses to cancel the trip, the passengers are frightened of the mysterious person killing their fellow peers. So now it’s up to Thomas and Cat to catch the murderer and save the day… But they have no idea how they going to do it.
