On this particular trip, she met her second husband, archaeologist Max Mallowan, with whom she would live a wonderful and happy life until her end in 1976. On one of their visits to Greece in 1930, bound for Delphi, during their stay at the hotel ” Great Britain” in Athens, the news of the illness of her daughter by her first marriage, hastens their return to England. A few months later they come again to Greece where they are enchanted by Ancient Olympia, Mycenae, Epidaurus and are fascinated when they see the archaeological site of Delphi which is for them a lifelong dream of many years. On returning to the capital, a sudden illness of the author forces the couple to stay several days at the hotel and her treatment by a Greek doctor it is also the occasion to include him in the next project “Murder on the Orian Express” (s.s.
