Смерть лорда Эджвера. Убийство в Месопотамии

Both novels included in this book are in one way or another connected with archaeology. Most of The Death of Lord Edgware was written at the excavations in Nineveh, where the writer was with her archaeologist husband. The novel describes one of Poirot's most unsuccessful cases, when it is not brilliant logical constructions that help him solve the crime, but “just” chance and observation. In the novel "Murder in Mesopotamia" Poirot again has to show not so much logic as intuition. After all, in the room where the archaeologist’s wife was killed, the killer simply had nowhere to hide, and all the suspects have an “iron” alibi.
