About this audiobook

Robbery and brutal murder aboard a luxury transport ensnares the ever-attentive Hercule Poirot in The Mystery of the Blue Train, from Queen of Mystery Agatha Christie

When the luxurious Blue Train arrives at Nice, a guard attempts to wake serene Ruth Kettering from her slumbers. But she will never wake again—for a heavy blow has killed her, disfiguring her features almost beyond recognition. What is more, her precious rubies are missing.

The prime suspect is Ruth’s estranged husband, Derek. Yet Hercule Poirot is not convinced, so he stages an eerie reenactment of the journey, complete with the murderer on board. . . .

It has been a long time since I read the book, so I bought the audiobook for a re-listen. I enjoyed the story, the red herrings, and Poirot's need for everything to click. I suspected the actual guilty party but not how it occurred. The narration by Hugh Fraser was well done and gave the characters a bit more life. This is my unsolicited review.
