While accompanying his friend Hastings to a dig in Iraq, Hercule Poirot becomes involved in the murder of an archaeologist's wife. The victim, Mrs. Leidner, had been receiving threatening letters signed by her first husband who was known to have been killed in a train wreck. Did he survive? Was it his younger brother who was avenging his memory? Did Miss Johnson get rid of her rival for her employer's affections? Did Richard Carey kill the woman he publically announces that he hates? Is the French priest really who he pretends to be? How many deaths will occur before Poirot unmasks the murderer? (iTunes)

It reminded me too much of the previous installment "Evil Under the Sun", especially in terms of plot composition, when there was even something extra to confuse the viewer, perhaps unnecessarily. Nevertheless, a complex story is created here. And a bit stretched. However, the area of Iraq is sufficiently interesting, or rather the mentioned locations are so interesting that at least this will captivate you.
