A short novella in epistolary form. It's crazy that this was written in the 1930s without hindsight of what actually did transpire. Within this short book, it encapsulates the mood of the time.

On his first night in Jerusalem, Poirot overhears a man telling someone that she has to be killed. Then Poirot travels to Petra along with several others, among them the Boynton family. While there, Mrs Boynton is found dead and Poirot decides to find out if it was murder and if so, who did it?
Once again, Christie had me fooled, because I didn‘t see that ending coming. Even if I have seen the TV dramatization
Hugh Fraser is an amazing narrator
This was a charming story about a woman's attempts to help her friend get reintegrated into society after a breakup and reconciliation. I was uncomfortable with some of the attitudes toward women but had to remind myself that this book was written in 1938. I especially liked the main character and the humour.

I finished reading this one this morning. I prefer John Steinbeck's novels, but this collection of short stories and the novella The Red Pony was good. I love John Steinbeck's writing style, and this one did not disappoint. #ReadingThroughTheYears192021 #1938
Second day of Thanksgiving Break reading, relaxing, and coffee! 📚😊☕ #coffeeandabook #ReadingThroughTheYears192021 #1938
A fun romp and great palate cleanser after the more serious and complex stuff I‘ve been reading lately. If it didn‘t have the Italian slurs it would be a perfect romp. #1001books #1938 #englishlit #tbrtakedown
