Kittys Notes & Book Snippet
"In this new and brilliant book, Agatha Christie has departed from the canons of classical detection as she did in They Came to Baghdad.
The problem here is to trace the means by which a famous scientist, discoverer of XE Fission, has been wafted away. The direction in which he has disappeared may be guessed at but the tracks have been covered; suspect reports of the sighting of the missing man come in from all over Europe. Then his wife asks permission to go away and rest -- to take a holiday in Morocco.
Is it nothing but a holiday she is going to look for? A plan is formed to keep watch on her journeyings, but some very suprising things then begin to happen.
The authentic Morrocan setting of this book and its exciting and surprising narrative will hold every reader enthralled. It is full of those sudden ingenious twists and that brilliant though seemingly casual power of characterisation for which Agatha Christie is so justly renowned. "
