The Mystery of the Blue Train
# – # – # – # – #
The Mystery of the Blue Train revolves around a set of fabulous rubies, said to have been worn by Catherine the Great, now purchased by an American millionaire as a gift to his daughter. When she takes them with her on a luxury train to the Riviera, she is unaware that among her fellow passengers are her unfaithful husband, his not-so-secret mistress, a quiet Englishwoman who believes that nothing exciting ever happens to her—and the famous retired detective Hercule Poirot. And, possibly, a murderer.

Standard E Books puts out a huge amount of “free” content.

More than even a fat old white guy retired injineer can possibly consume. I remember reading the Hardy Boys in my youth and would save my supermarket tips to buy their latest adventure. Like my comic book collection, those were discarded when I went in the military. Another “casualty” of the Viet Nam war. My Charlie Chan’s, my Heinlein’s, and McDonald color series of Travis McGees. Sigh!
Wonder what they would be worth today?
Anyway, I am rereading some favorites as they come out of copyright.
And, of course, donate to the site. Small change but every bit helps. I can imagine growing up today and having the internet as a library of dikw (i.e., data, information, knowledge, wisdom) without having to physically trade to the library to find that illusive book that never seems to be there.
Sigh!
I wonder if these resources are “pearls before swine” and completely not used by today’s barbarian culture.
Argh!
