In Murder in Mesopotamia, Christie takes us again to a location she's very familiar with - an archaeological dig near Hassanieh, Iraq.
To go into the details of this Poirot story would spoil the read for some so I won't.

Another change to the usual, where instead of Hastings doing the narration , it is a Nurse Leatheran, who had been brought in the look after the victim. Obviously she failed, as the murder was committed in a closed room. As luck would have it, (or Christie anyway) Hercule Poirot happened to be in the vicinity and did his magic.

This was one of the alternative titles for February.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Christie evokes her setting so well that you almost feel like you’re there with the characters. The plot is cleverly conceived and Poirot’s final reveal is masterfully executed.
Highly recommended.

I was enjoying this book: fun setting in an archaeological dig, intelligent narrator, sympathetic victim, BUT I simply could not believe the ending.
