A date with death | Agatha Christie

Among the towering red cliffs of Petra, Mrs. Boynton's body, as if it were a swollen giant Buddha statue, was lying on the ground. And the small puncture mark on her wrist was the only sign of the lethal injection that killed her. With only 24 hours left to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot remembered a passing remark he heard in Jerusalem: "See, isn't it, that she must be killed?" Mrs. Boynton, in fact, was the most disgusting woman he had ever met in his life.
