Not your typical Poirot novel as he doesn't appear until 2/3 of the way through. Good story overall, as with any Christie novel.
The real mystery solver is a young girl. Poirot shows up to fill in the details.

Excellent plot, lots of suspense, diverse set of possible suspects and for he at least a bit of a surprise. Pirot readily solves it.
Charmingly set at a high society girls school as well as the Middle East.

This goes onto my Christie Top Ten List.

Hugh Fraser reads it

Not usually what i would choose to read but i chose it for english class. and Im really glad I chose Agatha Christies Cat among Pigeons because it really surprised me. I love the twists! got very into it. (y)
