Prince Ali Yusuf knows he must flee after the revolution took over his country; he asks his friend Bob Rawlison to hide his family jewels in a safe place until he arrives to a safe haven. Bob decides to hide them in her niece's lugagge, a luggage that will arrive ultimately at Meadowbank, one of the most prestigious girls schools in England. However, both Prince Ali and Bob are killed in a suspicious plane crash, and seemingly, no one knows where the jewels could be. As murder arrives at Meadowbank, the police is looking for a murderer that doesn't look like one.
Although I hate when a Poirot book doesn't have enough Poirot, I decided to give this a chance. The story isn't a bad one, but Poirot comes in at the last 20%, and if I'm being honest, I think Christie could've introduced another detective to solve the case. Also, there are some loose ends. I think this is one of the weakest Christie books I've read in a while.
