Cuando el lujoso Tren Azul llega a Niza, un guardia intenta despertar a Ruth Kettering para anunciarle su parada. Pero ella no despertará nunca más, ya que un disparo de gran calibre la ha matado, desfigurando sus rasgos hasta volverla casi irreconocible. Además, sus valiosísimos rubíes han desaparecido.

Review of 'The Mystery of the Blue Train (Poirot)' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The millionaire Rufus Van Aldin offers his daughter Ruth the famous ruby "Heart of Fire". Against her father's wishes, she decides to take the jewel with her on board of the "Blue train". During the trip, Ruth is thinking of ending her marriage and go back to her former lover. However, she is killed on the train and her jewels are stolen. Poirot is then hired by Van Aldin to find out who killed his daughter.

I enjoyed this story but I think it missed a bit of suspense. I liked that the character Katherine Grey was from St. Mary Mead (Miss Marple's town).
