Product Description

Review

"Smooth, highly original and completely absorbing" New York Times


Product Description

An archaeologist's wife is murdered on the shores of the River Tigris in Iraq...It was clear to Amy Leatheran that something sinister was going on at the Hassanieh dig in Iraq; something associated with the presence of 'Lovely Louise', wife of celebrated archaeologist Dr Leidner. In a few days' time Hercule Poirot was due to drop in at the excavation site. But with Louise suffering from terrifying hallucinations, and tension within the group becoming almost unbearable, Poirot might just be too late!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exeptional Radio and essential listening, 16 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Murder in Mesopotamia: Starring John Moffat as Hercule Poirot (BBC Radio Collection) (Audio Cassette)
This is without doubt the best Agatha Christie radio adaption. The cast is excellent especially the principal characters of Nurse Letheran and Poirot. The autobiographical quality of the book (told retrospectivley in the first person) is heightened here: If you listen to it with your eyes closed, you could almost BE in the Middle East! True, the solution is rather silly - but very unexpected (you'll never guess how the murder was committed) but come on, this is a Christie novel: if it's real life you want, go somewhere else!

Buy it, go on, now!

5.0 out of 5 stars my first Christie and I was hooked, 22 Sep 2003
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christie, great as always., 12 April 2001
By kate_crossland@another.com (wouldn't you like to know...) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Murder in Mesopotamia (Audio Cassette)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing, but thoroughly unsolvable!
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! Read more
