Murder in Mesopotamia

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Anna Massey

Suspicious events at a Middle Eastern archaeological excavation site intrigue the great Hercule Poirot as he investigates Murder in Mesopotamia, a classic murder mystery from Agatha Christie.

Amy Leatheram has never felt the lure of the mysterious East, but when she travels to an ancient site deep in the Iraqi desert to nurse the wife of a celebrated archaeologist, events prove stranger than she could ever have imagined. Her patient's bizarre visions and nervous terror seem unfounded, but as the oppressive tension in the air thickens, events come to a terrible climax--in murder.

With one spot of blood as his only clue, Hercule Poirot must embark on a journey not just across the desert, but into the darkest crevices of the human soul to unravel a mystery which taxes even his remarkable powers.

One of my favorites

Love the reader, she does an excellent job bringing the story and the characters to life!

Excellent

One of Agatha Christie's very clever works. Really enjoyable novel in an exotic eastern setting.

very enjoyable

nice change to have the narration be from a women's perspective. somehow much more fitting for Agatha. great twist! loved it

Amazing story, but fantastic narration

This has been one of my favorite Agatha Christie books. The narration took some getting used to, but the story was worth it.

Ghastly Narration

intriguing story, though lacking many of the subtle clues of other Christie classics, but the narration was absolutely painfilul. Nurse sounded like an aged spinster, rather than the thirty-something professional woman she was. All the men had gutteral, vaguely Germanic accents and rather froggy voices. The only reason I forged through was for cookies are other stories - and in the veeeery end there was o be. So, yes. Decent boom made barely palatable by horrific narration.
