American millionaire Rufus Van Aldin has only one weakness: his daughter Ruth. She, on the other hand, has two weaknesses: jewels and dangerous men. The paternal gift, the Ruby Flame Heart, will not bring her happiness...
Catherine Grey is also traveling on the Blue Train, and she was the last to see the victim alive. From her testimony, Hercule Poirot begins his work.
Who murdered the millionaire's daughter? Where is the Flame Heart? To whom will Catherine Grey give her heart?
Fortunately - as he himself says in the novel - "Papa Poirot always laughs last."

"Very fun! I never want to say much about why I like an Agatha Christie, because I don't want to give it away, but I definitely enjoyed this one. One aspect of the ending I would have done differently, but that's more of a sentimental thing than a good-mystery-story thing. "

The Mystery of the Blue Train Listener Reviews

" I read some reviews saying this wasn't one of Christie's best, but I still enjoyed it very much. Quite a glamorous mystery and Poirot on good form. "

" I liked the idea of the female impersonator in this book, and I loved the character of Kathryn. "
— Zoë, 6/6/2011 -
" I didn't like this Christie book as much as some of the others I've read, but it is still a good, worthwhile read. The characters are all well-developed, and there's even some romance. "
— Kelly, 5/23/2011 -
" Good read, but not quite up to the standards of most of Agatha Christie's works. "
— John, 5/23/2011 -
" I love Hercule Poirot! It has been a while since I read an Agatha Christie, but this one seemed different to me than the last ones. In this one you have a little more time to get to know and love the characters. Oh but don't worry, there was a MAJOR twist! "
— Alison, 5/14/2011 -
" I like Miss Marple better. Dame Agatha's Hercule Poirot comes across as cartoonish. "
— Flynt, 5/6/2011 -
" I'm not hugely fond of Christie, but I do think this is one of her better efforts. "
— Snail, 4/19/2011 -
" As a book which follows up <em>The big four</em> is it back to good AC. As a stand-alone book it's a good, nicely written and well conducted crime novel, however it lacks a bit of pace and ... passion. Nevertheless worth reading, specially if one is a big fan of AC! "

" It had all the elements to be a good mystery, but somehow it falls short. Not up to the usual standards. "
