The Mystery of the Blue Train by Agatha Christie
5.0
The Mystery of the Blue Train is one of my favorite Hercule Poirot novels so far. There were many characters but I was able to keep track of them. I particularly liked Katherine Grey with her calm demeanor, intelligence, and willingness to listen. The lead-up to the murder was also more interesting than usual as we were introduced to several people who could have very different motives for murder - desire for the jewels, jealousy/revenge, money...

Even though I kind of guessed who did it, I was also astonished by one reveal (Major Spoiler:
SpoilerI knew it was the white-haired man from the beginning! But I didn't correctly guess who that white-haired man was - I did not foresee Mr. Knighton's betrayal.
). I listened to this as an audiobook, and the narrator's portrayal of Mirelle was hilarious - so dramatic!
