Cat Among Pigeons

Agatha Christie: Hercule Poirot Mystery. From the inside front cover: A Letter Home. Dear Mummy, We had a murder last night. Miss Springer, the gym mistress. It happened in the middle of the night and the police came and this morning they're asking everybody questions. Miss Chadwick told us not to talk to anybody about it but I thought you'd like to know. With love, Jennifer. When what looks like an amorous assignation turns out to be an assignation of quite a different sort, a globetrotting murderer leads Hercule Poirot on a breathless chase from a revolution-torn Arab Sheikdom to a very respectable English school for young ladies.
