The book features the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and reflects Christie’s experiences travelling in the Middle East with her husband, the archaeologist Sir Max Mallowan. The main settings are Jerusalem and Petra.
As always – and this is no criticism (from a HistFic writer that’d be hypocritical) – this episode strays somewhat from the original book which portrays Lady Boynton as PURE EVIL and actually walks you through the perilous path to Petra.
Nonetheless…
I LOVE this.
