Review
“The construction is flawless.” Daily Mail
“Smooth, highly original and completely absorbing.” New York Times
“Twice as brilliant as Death on the Nile, which was entirely brilliant.” Observer
Product Description
Three-in-one omnibus of Murder in Mesopotamia, Death on the Nile and Appointment with Death, plus an exclusive preface by Agatha Christie on the character of Poirot.
There is nothing exotic about murder, no matter where it takes place. Away from home, Hercule Poirot finds that he cannot escape death, even when travelling across Mesopotamia, the Nile and Petra.
MURDER IN MESOPOTAMIA
At the Hassanieh dig deep in the Iraqi desert, the wife of a celebrated archaeologist is suffering from terrifying hallucinations. Apparent madness – until a murderer strikes.
DEATH ON THE NILE
The tranquillity of a Nile cruise is shattered by the discovery that a young girl has been shot through the head. Stylish and beautiful, she had everything – even enemies.
APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH
And among the towering red cliffs of Petra sits the corpse of Mrs Boynton. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist is the only sign of the fatal injection that killed her.
Based on Agatha Christie's own experiences in the 1930s travelling with her husband, archaeologist Sir Max Mallowan, this trilogy of bestselling novels represents crime fiction at its very best. Here at last they are collected together in a single volume for Christmas.

Customer Reviews
If you need a change from the sometimes too sophisticated contemporary detective story, go with Agatha Christie. Her love of the Orient comes through in this series and serves as a nice setting for her clever sleuth, Poirot. The biggest fun is trying to work out 'who dunnit'...Enjoy.
All 3 books are brilliant, each with its own wonderful individual twist. Agatha Christie at her best.
Despite the exotic setting, this is a rather dull country house mystery with a fanciful, and highly incredible, solution. Poirot's late arrival on the scene does not help matters and the only relief is provided by an interesting narrator.
Death on the Nile (5/5)
A beautiful Swiss watch of a novel, in which detailed plotting and compelling psychology combine to produce arguably the perfect example of an Agatha Christie mystery.
Appointment with Death (3/5)
This novel is briskly written, with some effectively chilling characterisation of the victim in the early chapters, but the denouement is rather weakly handled.
