This is one of Agatha Christie's Middle Eastern novels. The famous detective, Hercule Poirot, finds himself in Iraq, where he stumbles upon a murder within an archaeological expedition. Poirot is asked to investigate and, as expected, he solves the case. Overall, it is a well-written Poirot novel with well-developed characters and a vivid depiction of the local setting.
However, it should be noted that the book is dated, and the portrayal of the local people may not align with contemporary standards of respect.
Having said that, it is still an entertaining read.
