Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere are several references to the geopolitical context of the time, which is strongly flagged as 1935-6. There is the main front-page headline in the copy of the Daily Express read by Poirot, which refers to the Abyssinian Crisis. There are prominent portraits of Mussolini. There is Poirot's observation that the harbour on Rhodes is being fortified and finally there is Major Barnes heading to Abyssinia / Ethiopia, on the ludicrous pretence that it's to hunt ostriches.
- GoofsOn the column placed on the east pier, by the side of Agios Nikolaos Fortress, at the entrance of the Mandraki harbor, at the time in which the story is set, there was not a hind, but the Capitoline she Wolf suckling the infants Romulus and Remus.
