Synopsis (Goodreads):
A mysterious woman, a legendary cursed jewel, and a night train from London to the French Riviera -- ingredients for the perfect romance or the perfect crime?Thoughts on The Mystery of the Blue Train: Happenstance (and some bad luck for the person committing the crime) has Hercule Poirot aboard the Blue Train when a murder is committed. Add in a young woman who has just come into a tidy inheritance and who is both observant and practical and the bad guys really don't stand a chance.
When the Blue Train stops, the jewel is missing, and the woman is found dead in her compartment. It's the perfect mystery, filled with passion, greed, deceit, and confusion.
Is Hercule Poirot the perfect detective to solve it?
But before Poirot works his magic with his little gray cells, the crime has to happen. The setup is complicated (or is it?) and involves an unhappy marriage, priceless jewels, infidelity (on more than one count), and some big players. It really is only luck (of either the good or bad variety depending on who's looking at it) that puts Poirot and Katherine in the right place at the right time to become part of the investigation.
A whole lot of planning, a little theatrical flare, danger, potential romance, and one wily detective who can't seem to stop investigating when crime happens around him. *thumbs up*
