Giuseppe Settanni Ordre des livres (chronologique)

This year's most sought-after invitation must surely be that of the Bridgerton masquerade ball, to be held Monday next. Will some fortunate young lady use the mystery of a masquerade night to snare one of the eligible bachelors? Lady Whistledown's Society Papers, May 1815. Sophie Beckett never dreamt she would sneak into Lady Bridgerton's famed masquerade ball - or that 'Prince Charming' would be waiting there for her! Though the daughter of an earl, Sophie had been relegated to the role of servant by her disdainful stepmother. But that night, spinning in the strong arms of the debonair and devastatingly handsome Benedict Bridgerton, she felt like royalty. Yet she knows all enchantments must end. But Sophie has reckoned without Benedict's determined heart: he has sworn to find and wed his mystery miss, for he knows this is his only chance for a fairy tale love . . .

Il lussuoso Treno Azzurro unisce nella notte Londra con la Costa Azzurra, trasportando i protagonisti dell’alta società, miliardari americani, nobili europei, ereditiere e investigatori famosi come Hercule Poirot. Tra di loro anche la giovane e bella Ruth Kettering, figlia del miliardario Van Aldin. Per lei, è l’ultimo viaggio: all’arrivo a Nizza, infatti, viene ritrovata strangolata nel suo scompartimento. Gli indiziati sono numerosi: il marito, l’amante, un’avvenente ballerina, un imprendibile ladro internazionale. La polizia brancola nel buio, ma non Poirot…

Dans ce train où ne se côtoient que des gens aux comptes en banque bien fournis, et qui fuient les brumes anglaises pour le soleil de la Côte d'Azur, la fille d'un homme d'affaires américain est assassinée. Enquête difficile, tant par le milieu dans lequel elle se déroule que par la vitesse imposée à ladite enquête par l'horaire auquel le « Train bleu » doit se soumettre. En bref, le criminel aurait toutes les chances d'échapper à la justice si - pour son malheur - Hercule Poirot n'avait pas été là...
