I thought it would be something like the Murder on the Orient Express. It was an okay mystery with an uneventful ending.

Found this one a little boring and lackluster compared to the other Poirot stories I've read

I liked this one better. I would have never guessed who the killer was, and it (as always) ended up being extremely convenient at the end, with people you could have never guessed. I think that's just how she writes, so I'll keep reading then.

A very short story, and a reasonable introduction to the genre/character.
In this, Poirot is called in to investigate when a wealthy young lady is discovered under the seat of a train carriage. She has been stabbed, and her jewellery is missing.
With seemingly little info, and minimal investigation, Poirot solves the crime.
