Simply no, I have yet to be able to work a Christie out.Īn excellent example of Christie’s work and one I would go to if you need a strong example of her writing. Could I make the conclusion before Poirot announced it. Poirot gives himself 24 hours to solve the mystery by simply interviewing everyone and piecing it all together along with the evidence he already had. The only problem is that she was in full view of everyone at the entrance to a cave, whoever killed her would have clearly been seen by someone. The only clue on her body is a puncture mark on her wrist. The she in the case of this book is Mr Boynton. “You do see, don’t you, that she’s got to be killed?” Dr Gerard an eminent doctor in the field of psychology, Lady Westholme a member of parliament and timid Miss Pierce a former governess.Īnd of course there is Hercule Poirot and he has the most significant piece of evidence which he does not know at the time when he overhears: In Petra we meet other people, Sarah King, newly qualified as a doctor. Hanging on their coat tails for some reason is Jefferson Cope. We are taken to Petra, The Red City which can be found in Jordan, with the Boynton family, four children, one daughter in law and a tyrannical mother who used to be a wardress in a prison. This is one of the Christie books which was inspired by her travels to the Middle East with her husband.
