When the luxurious Blue Train arrives at Nice, a guard attempts to wake serene Ruth Kettering from her slumbers. But she will never wake again - for a heavy blow has killed her, disfiguring her features almost beyond recognition. What is more, her precious rubies are missing.

The prime suspect is Ruth's estranged husband, Derek. Yet Hercule Poirot is not convinced, so he stages an eerie reenactment of the journey, complete with the murderer on board.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Hugh Frasier's variety of accents bring an enthralling vibrancy to Christie's work. You feel as if you are surrounded by a cast, each telling what they saw (or what they want you to think they saw!) when in truth it is one talented man's voice. The story is full of lush descriptions, twists and turns in the Christie way, and the characters are easily recognizable- indeed whatever the audio equivalent of "leap off the page"- due to the individuality of voice the narrator applies to them.

Outstanding Narration

A great precursor to MOTOE. Christie begins to explore the possibilities of train-based murder. A blessed return to strong story telling after the dreadful Big Four. Excellent characterisation and fun caricatures (so?)! Fraser in high narrating form.

One of my HP faves

I continue to love the Hugh Fraser readings of Agatha Christie’s stories of Hercule Poirot. This is another delightful listen!

Another great listen

Although this is not one of my favorite Agatha Christie books, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this. Hugh Frasier is amazing in capturing all the characters’ voices, including Hercule Poirot’s! Highly entertaining.

Hugh Fraser is terrific!

I did find it difficult to engage at first but it didn’t take too long for the characters to sort out so I could keep track of what was going on. Love the ending when Perot reveille his explanation.

Of course it’s good

Hugh Fraser perfectly captures the atmosphere of one of my favorite AC novels. Well worth listening to for fans of the genre.

Classic Christie

I forgot I was listening to the story & not watching television.
Hugh Fraser was awesome in all parts, i especially enjoyed him the Hercule Poirot that I know, David Suchet.

Great!

At the outset let me say I am a huge Hercule Poirot fan. I dare say I have seen almost every show availble on TV at least once. Thanks to BritBox, I am completing the final seasons. I was not familiar with The Mystery of the Blue Train, so I was it was available and with the wonderful performance of Capt. Hastings - I mean Hugh Fraser. As with most Agatha Christie's mysteries, you never know where they will lead you. This is a classic Christie, a' la Poirot mystery. Enjoy this well-written 1928 classic.

Hugh Fraser is perfect for this Poirot classic

As always, her mysteries are edge of your seat whodunnits. However, for the first time in one of her books, I struggled to remember which character was whom. But still an excellent story!

Agatha Christie is my favorite author

A murder most foul on the blue train and both prime suspects have an airtight alibi. A father's grief and anger along with jewelry. A mystery for Poirot
