Features Hercule Poirot. Originally published in 1936. When nurse Amy Leatheran agrees to look after archaeologist Dr Leidner's wife Louise at a dig, she finds herself taking on more than just nursing duties: she also has to help solve murders. Hercule Poirot is visiting the excavation site but will the great detective be in time to prevent a multiple murderer from striking again?

This was a book of the month read in October of 2012. Here is a link to that thread /topic/show/...,

This book was quite interesting, but maybe a bit too mysterious. I didn't even try to guess the killer. I have seen the TV adaptation with David Suchet before and remembered everything, except the killer.

I have read this a couple of times before, but I usually don't remember who did it, just something about how it was done. I liked the Nurse narrator who could be sympathetic toward Poirot without wanting to make him suggestions. I would have liked more archeology, but then there wasn't really a need for it. That is part of the difference between writing from Christie's time and now. Also, most of the characters are stereotypes in Christie's books.

I enjoyed the plot in this one. I had determined who the murderer was early on, but I had no idea why or how it was done. It was rather clever (improbable, but clever).
