Publisher's summary

Crime sleuth Hercule Poirot returns in a thrilling BBC Radio 4 dramatisation.

Amy Leatheran 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.

Mystery Plus Archeology

Would you consider the audio edition of Murder in Mesopotamia (Dramatised) to be better than the print version?

I enjoyed both versions. The audio edition version has merit because it brings the characters to life. It is like listening to a play.

What did you like best about this story?

I like the nurse who narrated the story. I thought the solution to the mystery was plausible but unexpected.

Have you listened to any of John Moffatt’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to all of his audio book portrayals of this character. He is a very competent Hercules Poirot.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A deadly mix of mystery and archaeology.

Any additional comments?

I like the stories set in exotic locales. I also liked the archaeology aspects of the story.

Agatha Christie is a ROCK STAR!

I love Agatha Christie, and the narrator was wonderful. These two combined equals a great audible.

Compulsive listening

This adaptation is brilliant achievement that keeps you actively involved from start to end. The acting is wonderfully subtle, offering some new perspectives on very familiar characters. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it with all my heart to those who want to feel good for a couple of days.

Great Full Cast Production

Would you consider the audio edition of Murder in Mesopotamia (Dramatised) to be better than the print version?

Another very enjoyable listen from BBC radio collection. John Moffat reads the part of Hercule Poirot very well. I like the addition of music and sound effects. Everything about this recording is top notch.
