Murder in Mesopotamia (Miss Marple Mysteries)

In Murder in Mesopotamia, Christie takes us again to a location she's very familiar with - an archaeological dig near Hassanieh, Iraq.

To go into the details of this Poirot story would spoil the read for some so I won't.

However, there is one question I have that has driven me nuts every single time I have read or re-read this book:

How did she not know?!?!?

I liked this one. Definitely didn't see who the murderer was.
