The Mystery of the Blue Train (Hercule Poirot, #6)

As always the mystery that Agatha Christie unfolds in The Mystery Of the Blue Train is a complicated and an intriguing one! I love how she gives you many suspects and you try to find out who the most probable is among them but there is always more to the story that you must find out to correctly identify the murderer.
The reading of the story was even more pleasurable since I've read this time in english.
My favourite character in this story was Katherine and even though Derek Kettering wasn't perfect I liked him also and I so wanted for him to not be the murderer whether he was or not you'll have to read the story for yourself and find out.
The thing that frustrates me in the Hercule Poirot books is that the french words and sentences are not being translated in some kind of footnote and that takes something away from the story and it irritates the hell out of me when while reading I have to google translate something to make sense to me.

Lol, yes, translations (or lack of them) can be very annoying. Glad you enjoyed the story though.

I hope they'll start translating in future editions and if not all at least the parts that are essential to the plot.
I love Katherine and Derek too

I just finished the book. I agree with all of the above.
