POR PRIMERA VEZ, puedo decir que una teoría mía casi, CASI coincide con las ideas de Agatha Christie. Probablemente sea el halago más grande que me haga a mi misma nunca.
El misterio del tren azul es una de las historias mejor llevadas de Christie, y la demostración de que absolutamente cualquier narrador podía volverse brillante en su pluma. Si bien puedo ya predecir que no será de mis favoritas, la ejecución fue completamente brillante, como es costumbre en esta leyenda. Podría decir que si mi teoría casi funcionó, es porque estoy acostumbrada a sospechar cada pequeña línea y palabra escogida por ella. Y de ese modo, se ve cómo desde antes del crimen, las pistas ya están echadas. (Eso también es mérito de la excelente traducción por parte del profesional escogido por la editorial).
En fin, es una novela de misterio muy llevadera, completamente cautivante y adictiva, que te deja con muchas sensaciones. Típico de Agatha Christie. Ella también, un poco como su brillante detective "es el mismo diablo. Pero me gusta".

The first few chapters were full of unpleasant characters, but when the main character was finally introduced I began to take a real interest in the story and even loved parts of it. I didn't love everything about how the characters ended up, but their journey was fun to follow and the mystery was good (I only partially figured out the solution to the mystery and that due to a broad hint dropped half way through the story).
