This is Agatha Christie's 8th novel (and 5th with Hercule Poirot). In it, Poirot tackles the murder of a wealthy woman on a luxury train headed to Nice and the theft of a set of valuable rubies that were once worn by Catherine the Great. Suspects include her husband, traveling to Nice on the same train, but unknown to her; her husband's mistress, also on the train and unknown to either of them; and some well-known jewel thieves. Poirot brings a young woman into his confidences as he follows the clues to bring the guilty persons to justice. I really enjoyed this one, possibly the first one where I was able to identify the guilty party before the big reveal.
