This particular title is an Agatha Christie novel that entered the public domain. I was able to get it from gutenberg.org. It's also one of the many mysteries taken on by the esteemed detective Hercule Poirot.
A train ride is supposed to be taking Ruth Kettering to her lover. On the way, however, she's murdered, and her valuable rubies are stolen. Her lover seems to be the obvious suspect, since the jewels are missing. But since Poirot is involved, you just know it's not a simple murder. There's all sorts of people to consider, and a young woman who's recently come into some money might be able to help solve the mystery.
It's Agatha Christie. Do I need to say anything else? It's written well. She drags you along and makes you care about certain people. You're not solving it until Poirot does it for you, because he has information you don't. I had suspicions on who it was, but I didn't know why or any of the details.
It's in public domain. If you like Agatha Christie, you can get a hold of it easily. Good Book!
