Christie does well in exemplifying her abilities and keeps the reader entertained throughout the reading experience. I have been enjoying these Poirot novels, as they are short enough to speed along and yet detailed enough to pull me in. Christie presents a great mystery, free from the extemporaneous fluff that many stories penned today appear to have. Someone is guilty and Poirot wastes no time in pointing his well-manicured finger in a certain direction. He is, of course, known for his outlandish mannerisms that usually lead to the correct answers. Poirot synthesises the facts and predicts what likely happened, even if it seems improbable to all those in the expedition. After another in the expedition turns up dead, having consumed a sizeable amount of poison, some wonder if it was the murderer’s guilty conscience that led to the act, while others are sure someone is lurking inthe shadows, ready to kill again when the time is right.
When Poirot arrives, he listens to the story and begins amassing some ideas.
Hercule Poirot is in the region and will stop by soon to lend a hand. Who could be the culprit and that motive might they have? it’s a mystery of the highest order, but there is a silver lining Dr. Leidner, predicting horrible things will happen, which leads to her murder. Leidner begins having hallucinations and is worries about her safety, Nurse Leatheran cannot help but wonder if something sinister is on the horizon. The dynamics are such that Nurse Leatheran is sure something’s up, but cannot place her finger on it.Īs Mrs. Leidner and a group of others are on an archeological dig in Iraq. Leidner, she knew it would be an adventure, but the degree may have passed her by. When Amy Leatheran was assigned to help Mrs. Another great Poirot story sure to capture the interest of series fans and lovers of a good mystery alike. With a different narrative perspective in the form of a nurse, the story transports the reader to an archeological dig in Iraq. The retired Belgian detective is not only sharp when analysing a crime scene, but also gets around the world with ease, helping those around him. Back for lucky book number 13 in the Hercule Poirot series, I was eager to see what Agatha Christie would do with this story.
