The Mystery of the Blue Train
(Large Print)

"The luxurious Blue Train carries its passengers across France, from dreary wintertime England to the sunny French Riviera. When it arrives at Nice, a guard attempts to wake serene Ruth Kettering from her slumber. But she will never wake again -- she has been killed, and a heavy blow has disfigured her features almost beyond recognition. What is more, her precious rubies are missing and her ever-present maid was dismissed from the train back in Paris. Was it a crime of passion, or a bold train robber? The French police think a robber is the most plausible solution. Yet Hercule Poirot is not convinced, so he stages an eerie reenactment of the journey, complete with the murderer on board..." --Cover, p. 4.
