This is the first Agatha Christie I ever read and it was enough - I have since read every book and am a big fan. This is the story of a murder at an archeological dig - it's the classic Christie plot where it can only be one of a certain group who committed the murder and you get to know the whole group well through the book. There are the usual red herrings and when you reach the end you wonder how you could have missed the clues showing you who the murdered was - although as she often does there are a few held back until the very end. She misdirects you cleverly so,as usual, you miss what at the end seems obvious. I highly recommend this to all fans or those thinking of trying a Christie for the first time.

This is one of the first Poirots I heard on tape, and it it truly enjoyable to listen to, as it is all brought to life. It can liven up a car journey or being alone in the house - whatever the occasion, I recommend this tape.

Like all Agatha Christie's mysteries, Murder in Mesopotamia is so full of twists, you won't be able to remember which characters were which, let alone solve the plot! However, the desert-surroundings of an archaeological site provide a perfect background to the murder. Christie's superb knowledge in this field makes it highly believeable, and combined with an intricate plot, this makes Murder in Mesopotamia one of her most fascinating, if gruesome murders!

Exeptional Radio and essential listening
This is without doubt the best Agatha Christie radio adaption. The cast is excellent especially the principal characters of Nurse Letheran and Poirot. Read more
