A millionaire strikes a deal on the seedier side of Paris and gives to his heartsick daughter, Ruth Kettering, the "Heart of Fire," one of the world's legendary jewels that once adorned the crown of the Tsars.

The suspects line up: could the murderer be Derek, her weak and greedy husband; Ruth's former lover, the Comte de la Roche, who has a well-known weakness for ladies and expensive gems; or the beautiful but tempestuous dancer Mirelle, Derek's scheming and expensive mistress? Only master sleuth Hercule Poirot can unravel the mystery and find the truth.

This radio dramatization of a Hercule Poirot case, The Mystery of the Blue Train, is nicely done.

A rich American has bought some fabulous rubies said to have belonged to Catherine the Great of Russia for his only [grown] child, Ruth. One of the gems is the 'Heart of Fire,' the largest known ruby in the world. They are said to be cursed, but Van Aldin doesn't believe in such things. If he did, he certainly wouldn't have given them to the apple of his eye.

Ruth has been married to Englishman Derek Kettering, who will be a peer when his father dies. In the meantime, he hasn't been a good husband. He's been unfaithful. Worse, he's been quite indiscreet with his latest paramour, a famous Parisian dancer named Mirelle. Papa is insisting Ruth get a divorce. No money, no Mirelle. Van Aldin is also urging his daughter not to be taken in again by a man who romanced her when she was younger -- until he broke them up.

Meanwhile, a very nice young woman named Katherine Grey from St. Mary Mead has inherited money from a grateful employer. She's always lived quietly and is looking for adventure. She finds herself on the Blue Train at the same time as Ruth Kettering. Ruth is troubled. Katherine is a good listener.

The Blue Train is visited with murder and robbery. Katherine is helping Hercule Poirot solve the case. There are some good twists. ( )
