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…

Unusual for Christie, but great!

Post World War II drama and intrigue are described as part of a scheme to gather scientists from around the globe to be eventually sold to governments around the world.

Enjoyable cozy mystery, with a few twists

As a fan of Agatha Christie, I loved this novel. It is very different from her serial pieces (Poirot and Miss Marple) and provides an interesting alrernative toward her more traditional formula and topics.

Very good for what it is

Full of twists and turns, the story is set in the Cold War era but with Christie’s fondness for obscure masterminds behind the scenes. Reliably diverting and satisfying.

Solid all around

This one is good! Performance is good, story us good, social commentary is good! I like the departure from Christie's usual murder-centric style.
