Appointment with Death is a classic detective novel by Agatha Christie, featuring the brilliant Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. While traveling in Jerusalem, Poirot overhears a chilling remark: "You do see, don't you, that she's got to be killed?" Soon after, the tyrannical American matriarch Mrs. Boynton—a woman who psychologically enslaves her family with her cruel dominance—is found dead near the ancient rose-red city of Petra. With a needle mark on her wrist suggesting a lethal injection, Poirot faces a host of suspects, all family members with motives born of years of oppression. He must unravel buried secrets and psychological wounds to expose the killer.
