In 1934, private detective Miranda Green was investigating a murder at the British Embassy in Cairo. The theft of a top-secret document during the murder threatened Buckingham Palace and shocked the world.

Miranda is a born detective, possessing absolute memory. The story follows a locked-room mystery: a murder occurs in the heavily guarded British Embassy in Egypt, and the killer must have stayed overnight among the embassy's inhabitants. Miranda, with her absolute memory, is invited to investigate, discovering signs of Nazi activity in Egypt, and ultimately revealing that the killer is the British ambassador bribed by the Nazis… The story also features a lesbian daughter, and I always felt the ambassador's words were loaded, and I was right, haha.
I want to be dressed neatly and elegantly, investigating cases in tropical deserts, jungles, grasslands, snowfields, and rainforests, without worrying about skincare, using the restroom, showering, or poisonous insects, and with the bad guys always a step too late when it's time to be shot. Because that's how it's portrayed in movies and TV shows.
Personally, I think it's good, not from a plot or cinematic perspective, but it's definitely a great promotional film for Egyptian scenery. Even after visiting Egypt, it's still very captivating to watch.
The plot and mystery are very average, it's an Egyptian scenery film, and the female lead is trying too hard to portray a certain character.
The costumes and props have such cute little details, like the main character's hair accessories, they're so exquisite!
