Not my favorite Agatha Christie for sure but an okay read nonetheless. Part of my yuck includes casual racism and romanticizing of physical violence.
Short synopsis: Girl, who recently lost her father, sets out to find adventure. When she witnesses an accidental death on a train platform, it sets off a train of excitement which leads to South Africa as well as several attempts on her life. Colonel Race is actually a minor character but the events in this book do lead him in to his life of fighting crime.
