Format:Paperback
When I started this book, I was a bit disappointed, thinking it would be another murder mystery. However, having recently read several other murder mysteries by AC, I found this story a refreshing change and a wonderful introduction to the world of spy adventures - and this really is some adventure. Don't write it off because it is not what you expect from Christie. I think it has opened up a whole new avenue of reading to me.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
As usual, when Christie boots Poirot and Mrs. Marple, you're in for an adventurous and fun book. It all starts when a harried detective stops a girl from committing suicide and asks her to step in the place of a dead woman in order to solve a mystery. From then on you have mayhem, danger, and sweeping romance. Trust me, this is a great book--especially if you're a little bored and depressed yourself!!!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
It's nice to take a break from Poirot and Marple. Usually, when Christie gets away from her usual detectives, you get a story that has plenty of adventure and a much more interesting story. A harried detective sends a girl ready to commit suicide on on a hunt for some murderers...dressed up like a dead woman. Needless to say, your heart is racing thru-out the whole thing. Buy it, especially if you feel bored or rather depressed yourself!

Destination Unknown
Not Christie at her best. Deadly dull, the book plods along getting nowhere very slowly. Not for one moment do you believe that any of the characters are in danger. Read more

Hated the book more than 20 years ago, but was surprised how much I enjoyed re-reading it. It is not a typical Christie, yet it contains elements that are familiar from other... Read more

Atmospheric spy mystery
Not your usual tea, cakes and the vicar Agatha Christie story - but then not many of them are. She liked to use her experiences travelling in the Middle East and around the world. Read more

Not a mystery and not much cop.
Read 'Destination Unknown' as it was reccommended by my mother. Not sure why, as her taste is usually quite good. Read more

Good non-Poirot/Marple story
Spies, espionage, double-cross, plenty of mystery but no murder!
More action than a usual Agatha Christie novel, this book keeps you gripped even without Poirot or Marple. Read more

Still enchanted
I read this book a number of years ago and am still fascinated by it. I think that this is one of Ms. Christie's best books.

Dull, dull, and, oh yeah, dull!
Ok, Agatha Christie is my favorite author, but this has got to be the worst book she's written; I wish I could give it a 0. Read more

NOW, WHAT WAS I READING?
Too bad you can't give a book 0 stars, I would if I could. I read this book and found it SO boring (this might be because I read it when I was 10). Read more
