This story happens in middle of London in 26 Hickory Road. The setting becomes very clearly because there is for example Inspector Sharpe who works in London police force. Agatha uses a third person omniscient narrator almost all the time. It’s easy to find because narrator tells something in past time. The book is very easy to read because you don’t need to know anything what have happened in previous books.
