Format: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!!!

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!"

I only managed to get halfway through ...
I found this story a great disappointment, which was nothing to do with any change of style on Christie's part in writing a "spy" story instead of the usual cosy country house... Read more

Not a classic Christie
This thriller is far from Christie's best work. Published in 1970, when Christie was 80, its modern setting of airports and secret government meetings is unrelentingly modern, far... Read more

Bright idea, poorly executed
Okay. We all know this was one of the last few novels that Christie wrote, and that she was eighty when she did it, but the problems don't so much lie with an ageing author's... Read more

Poor
This was one of Agatha Christie's final books. It is also one of her poorest. A poor story, characters that don't come to life and an ending that lacks any closure. Read more

Passenger to Frankfurt
I've said it before and I'll probably say it again but I think you can generally separate out Agatha Christie's novels into two very broad categories. Read more

I wouldn't say this was the best of Agatha Christie.
This book was a bit difficult to follow, because a lot of the info was left out. It jumped from here to there. Read more

WELL, NOT QUITE CHRISTIE STYLE.
First, I really would like to have a good laugh. Before writing this review, I had already guessed the previous reviews might very likely, rated this book the worst. Read more

Rock-bottom Agatha Christie
One of Christie's few complete disasters. The plot is a muddled spy story presented with near-desperate sincerity but little coherence or believability. Read more

Agatha must not have been feeling well....
I have reached the point with Agatha Christie where I don't even need to read the summaries of her books...I just buy them on sight ! Read more

Truly dissapointing
I was very disappointed by this book. I am a great fan of Christie's writing (I named my cat Jane Marple) and I could not be more ready to enjoy something that she wrote. Read more
