But how will the discordant group cope with being treated as suspects? But she doesn’t have long to get to know ‘Lovely Louise’ who is found dead in her room from a blow to the head… Fortunately, the famous detective Hercule Poirot is returning from a case in Syria, and willing to help with the investigations. Whilst her fellow camp dwellers believe she is imagining the threat to her life, Amy is disposed to listen and learn the root cause of her patient’s paranoia. This is a Poirot story, but our narrator is one Nurse Amy Leatheran, who is at the site to watch over Dr Leidner’s fearful wife, Louise. Christie dedicated this 1936 novel to “ My Many Archaeological Friends in Iraq and Syria”. The dedication, too, makes this connection clear. Our first book is perhaps most directly influenced by her experiences, the narrative is set on a dig site and the victim is the wife of an archaeologist.
