Mystery on the Blue Train

The Mystery of the Blue Train (Hercule Poirot #6)The Mystery of the Blue Train by Agatha Christie
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I read another book from Agatha Cristie it was called the Blue Train. It is a classic detective novel starring Hercule Poirot. I think I mentioned before someplace that I read all of her books before when I was a teenager. I started reading them again and I can find some items to compare to even in today's modern age.

For those who use the internet to contact and talk to individuals who may be total strangers, we are constantly warned about giving out private information because it could get us into trouble. But after I read the Blue Train I realized that the internet does not provoke that type of behavior. This behavior seems to be innate.

Sufficient to say that in the novel, two wealthy women get to meet in the dining car of the train. One woman is wealthy because she is the daughter of a wealthy man. The other Woman inherited her wealth, she was a paid companion to an extremely rich woman who was a penny pincher, this woman with no close family around to pass her belongings died and she passes everything to her paid companion, which incidentally made her rich. The companion had no idea how wealthy her former and now dead her patroness was.

In the dining car of the train, they seem to get along very well and they start talking and rapidly they dive into their private and personal lives. One of the women get emotion and decides to invite the other to her private quarters on the train. Once in their private quarters on the train, they really reveal your personal situation with each other. Of course, somebody overhears them and eventually, it brings on problems for both of them. One got murdered. The other even innocent of the murder still get hit on by every individual who has found out that she inherited a fortune.

Sounds familiar?

"Movie Review: Dune Part 1 & 2 🎬

  Spoiler Alert! Buckle up for a desert journey like no other! In the vast expanse of cinematic adaptations, Villeneuve's Dune emerges as a monumental undertaking, spanning two epic installments that delve into the rich tapestry of Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi saga. While paying homage to the source material, these films chart their own course, offering a visually stunning and thematically resonant exploration of power, prophecy, and the human condition. Part 1: Betrayal and Escape The journey begins with Duke Leto Atreides, a nobleman entrusted with the stewardship of Arrakis, a desert planet coveted for its reserves of the spice melange—a substance essential for space travel and coveted by factions across the universe. Accompanied by his son, Paul, and Lady Jessica, a member of the secretive Bene Gesserit sisterhood, Duke Leto embarks on a perilous mission to Arrakis. However, their arrival triggers a chain of events orchestrated by the insidious House Harkonnen and the shad...

I had my Math test today...Epilepsy had other plans.

Today, I had my algebraic concept final test and I failed. Of course, my body sabotaged my efforts. This seems to be the norm with everything I do. That is when "everything I do" is extremely important and "the everything I do" maybe a life changer. Passing a math course is a life changer. So let me describe how it went today. Keep this note in mind I studied the entire weekend and the more I study things got more complicated As I wrote many times before, my neurologist and gastroenterologist have repeatedly told me that when my brain acts up my gut will too. When I take any other academic tests I usually don't get sick. I have taken all my meds and then I take life day by day. As I mentioned in previous posts on the internet maybe Facebook or G Plus, I have a few abnormalities in the brain. These abnormalities affect my behavior and my thought processes. It is not that bad but I perceive and understand things a little bit differently and that is why I may ...

Hi, my name is Tony I am a... Well you know. Actually Tony is short for Antonio. I thought if you were reading this you should know, not that anybody really cares. Anyhow, I am a ferocious reader of science-fiction. I like to read. For many years I could remember every single book that I've read. Unfortunately, I cannot do so anymore. However, if I read a science article sometimes I can associate it with a science fiction book that I have read and I like to talk about it. For example, here is the link to an article that I have recently read on the internet: http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/27/15077864/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-computer-interface-ai-cyborgs Recently I have posted a blog on a book that I read called "Psychohistorical Crisis." without getting into too many details one aspect of the book has to do with the characters. They carry a device called a familiar, or a "fam" for short. I can't recall if it was a mechanical or an organic device. Th...
