A masterwork of classic detective fiction, Appointment with Death places the legendary Hercule Poirot at the heart of a sinister family drama set against the sun-baked backdrop of Petra, Jordan. Christie chronicles the story of the tyrannical Mrs. Boynton, a domineering matriarch who holds her stepchildren in a grip of psychological terror — until she is found dead in her camp chair, and what appeared to be a natural death reveals itself as cold-blooded murder. With his trademark precision and psychological acuity, Poirot uncovers the web of resentment, fear, and long-suppressed rage that drove one of the suspects to act. Christie's tone is characteristically measured and suspenseful, building dread through character study as much as plot, illustrating her unparalleled gift for making the reader simultaneously sympathize with the killer and marvel at the detective. A compelling entry in the Poirot canon, Appointment with Death stands as a testament to Christie's mastery of the psychological thriller wrapped in the elegant form of a golden-age whodunit.
