The Mystery of the Blue Train
Some mysteries draw us in through their secrets; others because of the person determined to uncover them. The Mystery of the Blue Train combines elegant surroundings, carefully hidden truths, and clues that reveal their significance only gradually. Presiding over it all is Hercule Poirot, a detective whose insight into human nature is every bit as compelling as his talent for solving crimes.

About the author
Agatha Christie was a British writer and the undisputed queen of detective fiction, turning murder into a brilliantly staged puzzle of clues, misdirection, and final revelations. With dry wit and immaculate control, she created Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple — two unforgettable sleuths whose sharp eyes could expose the truth hidden in the smallest detail. Her work spans dozens of crime novels, short-story collections, plays, and several more intimate novels written under the name Mary Westmacott. Yet for all the elegance of her plotting, Christie often found inspiration in the most ordinary places, from washing dishes to soaking in the bath. Behind the polished image of a literary grande dame was a practical, mischievous imagination that could turn everyday life into the scene of a perfect crime.
