Another very ordinary 'Poirot'. The Belgian sleuth is travelling in the middle east with a group which includes a horrible American matriarch.
This horrible bit of goods gets the chop and because she's such a nasty piece of work she deserved it.
Its very hard to get involved in the story when there is absolutely no sympathy for the victim.
