Relation During Books Appointment with Death (Hercule Poirot #19)
Among the towering red cliffs of Petra sits the corpse of Mrs Boynton, a tiny puncture mark on her wrist the only sign of what has killed her. Hercule Poirot has only 24 hours to solve the mystery.A tyrannical old martinet, a mental sadist and the incarnation of evil. These were only three of the character descriptions levelled at Mrs. Boynton, the matriarch who kept her family totally dependent on her. But did she really deserve to die on the excursion to beautiful Petra? Hercule Poirot hears about the murder and feels compelled to investigate-despite the family's request not to do so. Do they have something to hide and, if so, can they keep it hidden from this master sleuth?

The first book was quite entertaining and had me sensing I was going to like this story. Then came the second book and crashed that to the ground.You are a detective, are you not?Yes, mademoiselle.A very well-known detective?The very best detective in the world, said Poirot, stating it as a simple truth, no more, no less. The best opening to an AC mystery for me yet:"You do see, don't you, that she's got to be killed?" Poirot overhears a brother try to persuade his sister to kill their tyrannical and sadistic and morbidly obese mother, and why not?! We quickly learn that even if you are a complete pacifist that you might see why it is the

They have been in prison so long that, if the prison door stands open, they would no longer notice! It was rather frustrating to have to wait more than 100 pages for the murder to happen, but oh, it was so worth it. Poirot's final dénouement was particularly appreciated. And I'm so ridiculously glad they all had their (view spoiler)[happily ever after (hide spoiler)], in the end.This time around, the queen of crime did not disappoint at all.
The quickness of Christies hand still continues to deceive our eyes. (Val McDermid, New York Times bestselling author)I loved the book but didn't want to spit it out.If you read the book carefully, you can easily identify the "killer".Read and enjoy :))
This is one of my personal favourites.An obnoxious old woman, Mrs. Boynton (who used to the warden of a women's jail) has kept her daughter and stepchildren in psychological bondage for their whole lives: she gets her kicks from exercising control over other human beings. Obviously, they wouldn't mind if somebody murdered her.Well, what's hoped for happens. In the Red City of Petra where the family is on tour, Mrs. Boynton is discovered dead with a puncture mark on her wrist, sitting outside a
Well, old Aggie did it again. I was unsuccessful at solving whodunit. Poirot gave a rather long narration explaining his murder solving reasonings and calculations, I felt it went on too long, so minus 1 star. I felt it was convoluted in some areas, but overall I enjoyed it.
