I watched the tv version of this book a few times before I got around to listening to the audiobook. I'm glad that I made it, though, because while the show is acceptable the book is fantastic. The plot details make much more sense in the book, not least because there are enough details to make everything plausible; also the book isn't hindered by the show's ridiculous exaggerations, such as death by a thrown javelin. I also much prefer the format of the book, which utilizes government meetings, letters sent by the girls, and newspaper clippings to show readers what is happening. Overall a great book. (  ) blueskygreentrees | Jul 30, 2023 |  Really enjoyed the setup, the setting, and some of the characters. The resolution got a bit wild. But the storytelling zipped along so nicely that it was a really fun reading experience. ( ) Alishadt | Feb 25, 2023 | *3.5 (  ) Fortunesdearest | Oct 23, 2022 | 4/8/22 laplantelibrary | Apr 8, 2022 | A later Poirot outing, involving Middle Eastern revolution, missing jewels and murders at a prestigious girls' school in England. Poirot himself does not get into the mix until late in the tale, and the real star of this show is a teenager. A good story, with decent clues, but of course Christie always saves a little something for the final reveal. Proper fun. Feb. 2016 ( ) laytonwoman3rd | Mar 11, 2022 | no reviews | add a review
