Meanwhile, in a Casablanca hotel room, Hilary Craven prepares to take her own life. But her suicide attempt is about to be interrupted by a man who will offer her an altogether more thrilling way to die. . . .

A Very Good Standalone Novel from The 1950s

This is a well written and perhaps somewhat typical Agatha Christie mystery adventure novel. It is a standalone novel. I tend to enjoy her standalone novels. My personal favorite that I have thus far read is The Pale Horse in the event one is searching for another.

This novel, as is common with this author is fairly clearly written and therefore makes for a particularly good candidate for an audiobook, I read and listened simultaneously and the audiobook is very faithful to the written text. The performance is professional. I am completely satisfied with this audiobook. Thank You…

Cross Culture Intrigue

I appreciated the social, cultural, political and economical intrigue Agatha uses in this story. This one sits alongside They Came to Baghdad and Death Comes as the End as diverse and socially relevant.

Not the usual Christie

Not the usual Christie, but an exciting story with good characters and a few interesting twists and turns. Well worth the listen!

Not my favorite

I love Agatha Christie. Here I feel like the plot speeds up and slows down at the wrong moments... Or like she just tried to cram in the ending. Glad I heard it, but won't re-listen the way I do many of her other stories.

Not a murder, but still engaging

Emilia Fox does a fabulous job narrating. I’m a Christie fan, and although this novel was quite different because it’s focus wasn’t a murder, it was still highly engaging. I recommend it.
