Since this is the last one in the series, I'll write an overall review.
This series was the first thing I've ever read to Agatha Christie and I had high hopes for it, since it's considered to be very popular.
However I can't stress enough how disappointing this whole experience was.
The writing style is beyond poor and the characters depth doesn't exist at all and don't get me started on the weird plots.
Also the waya that the detective unravels what's happening or force the suspects to confess are nothing but laughable.
I mean this has to be a joke.
And that Poirot person is just awful.
He's nothing but an egoistic and a narcissistic person and his personality is just awful.
The disrespect that he was treating his friend with was just unbearable.
And then we have the second person "the Narrator" Me.Ridgeway, this man has a mashed potatoes in his head instead of a brain and always come to the most basic conclusions and he's always clueless about his surroundings unless it was a beautiful woman. Like???!
It makes absolutely no sense that he's being the right hand of the super mega egoistic detective. It feels as if the writer created this side character just to make her MC sound smart.
The entire series was just corny and dull.

Listened to this on audio narrated by David Suchet. Figured it would be a good choice for March Mystery Madness, and I was right as it fits this years 2 x 2 theme very well!

An heiress is discovered murdered on a train. Poirot is soon on the trail to find the murderer.
I felt blah about this one. Poirot just really doesn't engage me. The mystery in this one is fairly mediocre.

A sailor gets the shock of his life when he realizes the reason his luggage won't fit under the seat of his train compartment is because a dead woman is there! Who killed her & why?
In this short story, Poirot is joined by his friends Inspector Japp & Hastings. He again confounds his fellow investigators by solving the crime by logic. I love that Poirot solves crimes with his intellect, instead of using violence &/or modern science, just as a change of pace.
