A fantastic array of female characters and a late appearance by Poirot mark this exciting novel. Murder is afoot at an exclusive girls' school, but what is the motive? Could it be the Middle Eastern revolution that recently claimed the life of one student's cousin and another's uncle, or jealousy over career prospects among the schoolmistresses? Could one student's mother's wartime work play a part? And why is there a secret agent posing as a gardener? Poirot arrives in the last third of the novel to sort things out.

Regular Christie readers will enjoy a reference to Mrs. McGinty's Dead, and the story comes to a satisfying, if bittersweet, ending. Highly recommended.

Much too broad and political for my taste.
