Publish date: 22 August 1924
Genre: Crime
The story of Anne Beddingfield, young and ready for adventures girl from the UK. After being a witness of an accidental death of a man on a metro station, she decides to investigate the case on her own. The investigation leads her to South Africa. The mysterious murder, diamonds and beautiful landscapes, that’s all what Anne is going to experience.
It was nice to read this book. Once again Agatha Christie shows that she knows how to write a good book.
The story is being told from two perspectives: Anne Beddingfield (the main character) and Sir Eustace Pedler (via his diary).
The characters, plot twist and scenes are well presented. I could easily imagine what is going on there.
Also, the landscapes descriptions are well written. They made me more interested in the described places.
A lot of adventures, interesting plot twist and a bit of romance make this book worth reading. I wish there were more books with Anne Beddingfield.
My rate: 8/10
