Instead we have two intertwining stories about a spy plot in an "Eastern" country (Persian, by its description) and a prestigious private school for girls. Christie's negative judgments about English society are also on full display as the wealthy and influential are held up to be priggish buffoons, and the teachers she sympathizes with the most are hardworking, considerate and innovative, in their own way. We know a little more than the police do, so when the first murder happens we might think we've got the hang of it and the police don't, but Christie delights in piling up mysterious event on mysterious event until we're completely befuddled. Then Poirot comes in and the first thing he points out is that things are even more confusing than we thought. But he's here to get us through it. What a marvel.
