1926 started out well for Agatha Christie. She was happily married and adored her young daughter. Her mysteries were achieving success and the money they brought in meant that the Christie family could live comfortably. Archie Christie was doing well in his career and enjoying his weekend golfing. All was good in the Garden.Then her beloved mother died suddenly. In the midst of her grief, she tackled the monumental task of clearing fifty years worth of family treasures out of a huge house. After several weeks she knew she was close to physical and emotional collapse, but forced herself to go on. Then her husband arrived to announce that he was leaving her for another woman. It was a horrible time in her life.Added to her stress was the need to write a book to make more money. Archie's salary wouldn't stretch to supporting two households. Suddenly she went from being a married woman who wrote books for fun to being a professional writer who HAD to write, even though she wasn't enjoying it at all . In her autobiography, she tells of the torture of composing this book while her little daughter distracted her. Every woman who's ever worked from home will sympathize.Predictably, she never liked this book. The memories that surrounded its creation remained too raw, even at the end of her long life. It's not one of her best, but it's not as bad as she thought.Desperate to publish a book and not feeling creative, she expanded a Hercule Poirot short story. There are the usual stock characters known to Christie fans. There's an American millionaire and, of course, he's a rough diamond - bluff, determined, and sometimes obtuse. His adored only child is a daughter. She's beautiful (of course) and as arrogant and single-minded as her father.Ruth Van Aldin has only been denied one thing in her life - the right to marry the charming fortune hunter she fell in love with as a young girl. Now she's married to a impecunious British lord and it's hard to tell which of them is more bored with each other. Derek Kettering is amusing himself with an exotic French dancer named Mirelle. Ruth plans to divorce him, but what will she do then? She's thrilled with the fabulous rubies that her father has bought for her, but she wants to wear them to display her beauty to the man of her choice. The charming fortune hunter has resurfaced and this time the strong-minded heiress won't be denied. Rufus Van Aldin's secretary is also a young Englishman, but with no money and no title. Boyishly handsome and universally popular, his background as a WWI war hero is excellent training for dealing with the Van Aldins and the people they attract. He's unfailingly conscientious and efficient, making the Van Aldin's lives run as smoothly as possible, but he can't stop them from being ruthless and reckless. Carrying her valuable rubies on the Blue Train to a Mediterranean resort is asking for trouble and Ruth gets some very serious trouble indeed.Also on the Blue Train is Cinderella in the form of Miss Katherine Grey. A level-headed young woman, she's been companion to a wealthy old lady for years. Now she's inherited a unexpected fortune and she can buy beautiful clothes and visit exotic places. She and Ruth Van Aldin are as different as chalk and cheese, but many people find themselves confiding in strangers. Suddenly, Katherine is an important witness to a brutal crime.And another passenger on the Blue Train is Hercule Poirot. He's on vacation, but quickly pressed into service by the train company executives. Like all businessmen, they want the case solved quickly and with as little bad publicity as possible.Yes, the characters are two-dimensional and the plot is weary, but even at her lowest point, Christie cared about her characters and that shines through. She put in the usual plethora of suspects - the husband who will inherit, his greedy mistress, the charming wastrel who relieves love-blinded ladies of their treasures, and even a shadowy "master criminal" who has the police baffled. Who could it be?I was surprised at the answer to that question, but it don't think it reflects badly on Mrs. Christie. I read old mysteries for their charm and I'm ALWAYS the last to figure out the solution. My apologies to the author, but I enjoyed this book. I hope you do, too!

I heartily disliked Agatha Christie's 1928 Poirot novel, "The Mystery of the Blue Train: Hercule Poirot Investigates (Hercule Poirot series Book 6)." Poirot, himself, doesn't make an appearance until after the first 25% of the book, and, in general, most of the story revolves around the petty, crass, self-centered lives of the hoity-toity aristocrats making up the cast. To make things even worse, Poirot has absolutely no evidence to back up his "solution" at the end. Heck, he doesn't even get a confession. He could have just as well said space aliens beamed down from outer space and committed the murder and it would have been just as plausible. So, I'm rating the book at a Pretty Bad 2 stars out of 5.

Agatha Christie made no bones about it. "I have always hated _The Mystery of the Blue Train_." (_An Autobiography_, 429). "I had no joy in writing, no elan... and the people would not come alive... I cannot say that I have ever been proud of it" (429). _The Mystery of the Blue Train_ (1928) was her sixth Hercule Poirot mystery-- it was immediately preceeded by _The Big Four_ (1927)-- and was written when she was suffering from a writer's slump. She was also being interrupted during the writing of the novel. But I am in agreement with Robert Barnard. Christie may have disliked the novel, but it is far from her worst piece of writing._The Big Four_ was a rather dismal spy melodrama. _The Mystery of the Blue Train_ is a return to what Christie does best-- the formal detective story. This time, a plot is set in motion around a set of dazzling rubies on the black market. They come into the hands of a tough, hard-boiled American millionaire but are wanted by a ruthless, continental jewel thief. His first attempt to hijack them in Paris goes askew. We also meet the millionaire's spoiled, iron-willed daughter (for whom the jewels are intended), her estranged and indolent husband, his troublemaking dancer mistress, and the daughter's oily Old Flame with whom she plans to elope. Other characters include the efficient male secretary to the millionaire, the maid to the millionaire's daughter, a saintly companion who has recently come into money, her conniving distant cousin, and her cousin's honest and sharp-tongued daughter.Some of these characters board the luxurious Blue Train from Paris to Nice-- along with M. Hercule Poirot. There is a particularly brutal murder _en route_ that turns out to be more complicated to solve than it first appeared. Clues are misleading, stories shift about, and prime suspects change over time. Poirot enlists the aid of one of the passengers to help him solve the mystery.I don't think that it is giving too much away to say that in this novel, appearances can be deceiving. Sometimes what we _think_ we are witnessing is not what is actually happening. But I am betting that even armed with this information, the author will still fool the reader. Incidently, while this is purely a Poirot mystery, it is the first novel that introduces the village of St. Mary Mead-- Miss Marple's home town.
