'Marvellously entertaining' Observer 'It is not an impossible story -- it is only a fantastic one' Agatha Christie
Product Description
A middle-aged diplomat is accosted in an airport lounge and his identity stolen! Sir Stafford Nye's journey home from Malaya to London takes an unexpected twist in the passnger loungs at Frankfurt -- a young woman confides in him that someone is trying to kill her. Yet their paths are to cross again and again -- and each time the mystery woman is introduced as a different person. Equally at home in any guise in any society she draws Sir Stafford into a game of political intrigue more dangerous than he could possibly imagine. In an arena where no-one can be sure of anyone, Nye must do battle with a well-armed, well-financed, well-trained -- and invisble -- enemy!

What a mess,
By AL Silver (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Passenger to Frankfort (Library Binding)
Most of the other reviewers have it right - this book is a disaster. I'd have given it no stars, but I wasn't given the choice. One reviewer admires Christie for tryng something new. It's a good thing she didn't write this book first because she'd have never gotten it published. It's awful in every way; plot development, character development, prose style. I especially hated Christie's constant harangue as she bangs away at some notion of fascists taking over the world through the youth of the planet, a plot financed by the monied industrial types, and what that evil portends for the future of the world, mankind, womankind, and anyone else who happens to walk onto the stage. What's worse? She says it over and over and over and....You want good Christie? Read "Hercule Poirot's Christmas!"

Disappointing,
This review is from: Passenger to Frankfurt (Masterpiece Edition) (Paperback)
Of the 80 or so books that Agatha Christie wrote, this is probably her poorest effort. Her murder mysteries are all superb, but when it comes to writing tales of international intrigue, she wasn't really in her element. The plot sounds interesting enough at first sight but the book never really gets going, the storyline is fairly boring and I was relieved when I finally reached the end. Not one of her best!

Rubbish, Rubbish, Rubbish. One of the worst books I have ever read. What did Agatha think she was doing? 1 star only cos they made me rate it! Just don't do it!!!
