• Narrator – Our guide throughout the story, British and has many heavy books.
• Ernie Mac – A boaster and hype type.
• Hannah – Shy Puff who gets made fun of by other houses.
• J. Finch Fletchley – Puff who may or may not be imaginary and refers to themselves in the third person.
• Leanne – Leanne is very spacey and occasionally wise Puff.
• Sally Perks – One of the coolest Puffs who has many admirers but keeps losing her glasses.
• Susie Bones – A Puff who lives in fear of death, due to the fact that her entire family died.
• Cedric – Cedric is the coolest guy but not the brightest.
• Mr. Voldy – He who must definitely not be named. Rotten to the core and a showman.

For a Christmas present the American heiress Ruth (VanAldren) Kettering is given the most coveted ruby in the world – the “Heart of Fire” – by her loving father. She then boards the famous Blue Train to meet a lover on the French Riviera. Enroute, she meets an English country girl possessing a fortune from a recent inheritance. The women leave behind an unfaithful husband, an industrialist father, and a host of other shadowy international figures with mysterious pasts. But when the Blue Train arrives in Nice, one of them is dead, and vacationing Hercule Poirot is drawn into service once again. On this train, no one is who they seem, and only Detective Poirot can disentangle the disguises and deceptions.
