Around the time Christie wrote this book she commented:

“I was gaining confidence over my writing now. I felt that I would have no difficulty in producing a book every year, and possibly a few short stories as well.”

This book is often seen as a sequel to The Secret of Chimneys as it contains several of the same characters.

It was filmed in 1981 for TV.
