Allusions to real events

The assassination of the king and queen of Herzoslovakia seems to be an allusion to the May Coup (Serbia) (1903). --Maria-Sieglinde (talk) 17:18, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Maria-Sieglinde you may well be correct, but we need another source to say this., for this apparent inspiration for this novel's plot to be included in this article. That is, no Original Research for this Misplaced Pages article. --Prairieplant (talk) 08:37, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Images

Articles on several Agatha Christie novels include two cover images, US and UK. Usually first edition is in infobox and other first is in Publication history section. In this article, someone put it in the Plot summary. A map, a feature unique to this novel, is another image. One editor removed the two images on the basis of Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria. I am not sure why that guidance prohibits the second cover image or the map from the US edition. I replaced the images as they were, here. Would it be better in the Publication history section, like other articles about some of her novels? --Prairieplant (talk) 05:01, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
