Context in Christie Works
Like The Secret Adversary, the novel concentrates less on pure detection, and is more a thriller of the period. It follows the adventures of Anne Beddingfeld as she gets involved in a world of diamond thieves, murderers and political intrigue in this tale set in exotic Southern Africa. Colonel Race makes his first appearance in the novel; he later appears in Cards on the Table, Sparkling Cyanide, and Death on the Nile.

—Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
“An archaeologist is the best husband any woman can have: the older she gets, the more interested he is in her.”
—Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
“The family that perseveres in good works will surely have an abundance of blessings.”
