We recently unearthed 15 boxes of books in my dad's old storage building. They are all from the 1970s and earlier. I have picked some that I want to read, of course! This is one of them. From Amazon:

"Among the towering red cliffs of Petra, like some monstrous swollen Buddha, sits the corpse of Mrs. Boynton. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist is the only sign of the fatal injection that killed her.

With only twenty-four hours available to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalled a chance remark he’d overheard back in Jerusalem: 'You see, don’t you, that she’s got to be killed?' Mrs. Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he’d ever met. . . ."

Brought this one on vacation with me. It was entertaining, as Christie always is.
