by Agatha Christie
Berkley 1936. 228 pages. Mystery
When nurse Amy Leatheran agrees to look after American archaeologist Dr Leidner’s wife Louise at a dig near Hassanieh she finds herself taking on more than just nursing duties – she also has to help solve murders. Fortunately for Amy, Hercule Poirot is visiting the excavation site but will the great detective be in time to prevent a multiple murderer from striking again?
I can't stop reading about Hercule Poirot! This book, along with the rest of the Poirot series is written at an easy-going pace. I found the crime (and its solution) to be unique, as opposed to being typical or predictable. The story is also told through the perspective of Amy Leatheran, a nurse who is new to the archaeological site and is therefore not immediately acquainted with anyone. This different perspective made me much more eager to find out who murdered Dr. Leidner's wife. If you're new to the mystery genre, I think the Poirot series by Agatha Christie is a great place to start.
