Appointment with death 死亡约会
精彩点评
The murder of a loathsome person (E. A Solinas)
Hercule Poirot overhears those words as he travels.
They are spoken by a young man
named Raymond Boynton to his sister Carol.
"She" is their stepmother,
a hideous old woman with a talent for mental sadism.
She keeps her stepchildren
(and natural daughter, who is a schizophrenic)
dangling like puppets,
doing whatever she says.
Lennox, the oldest, has retreated into mute uncaring,
and his wife is threatening to leave him.
Raymond has fallen in love with the beautiful Sarah King,
and lovely young Jinny is beginning to go over the edge.

Then Mrs. Boynton is killed.
And Hercule Poirot must unravel not who would kill her,
but who WOULDN'T kill her.
This is one of those mysteries where the murdered person
is so loathsome that even if you don't approve of the murder,
you DO cheer when it happens.
The plot is tight and complex,
the characters are excellent,
and the ending will surprise, shock, and satisfy you.

The setting for this mystery is exotic Jerusalem
where the Boynton have come on holiday
to visit the Holy Land.
Christie excels in providing local color
and this novel ranks among her best in that area.
This book became popular
with the release of the 1988 movie starring Peter Ustinov
as Poirot and Lauren Bacall as Mrs. Boynton.
Also in the cast were Carrie Fisher,
David Soul, John Gielgud, Hayley Mills, and Piper Laurie.
