Review

'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!

1.0 out of 5 stars What a mess, 15 Nov 2007
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!"

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 28 Dec 2003
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!

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor, 31 Jul 2008
By R. Lowther - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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. It is one to avoid if you don't want to think of Christie as anything but an author that gave the word such enjoyment with Miss Marple and Hercule Poiret, rather than with this disappointing spy thriller...without thrills.

2.0 out of 5 stars 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

1.0 out of 5 stars 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

3.0 out of 5 stars 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

4.0 out of 5 stars 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

1.0 out of 5 stars 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

1.0 out of 5 stars 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

2.0 out of 5 stars 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
