A strange death in the desert and Poirot might just be too late…
Amy Leatheran had 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 across the desert to unravel a mystery which taxes even his remarkable powers…

En av de bästa Poirotmysterierna enligt mig 🌸

An effective creeping sense of dread flavours this mystery, where a formerly harmonious archeological expedition is plagued by a strange atmosphere and strange occurrences. The story is told from the point of view of a nurse, who becomes something as unusual as Poirot’s female assistant for the story. Set in an archeological milieu in the part of the world where Christie’s husband worked, it has a strong ring of truth regarding several situations, attitudes and quotes. The performance is on the main quite nice, but not flawless. The main issue seems to be francophone accents - which leads to Poirot with a Teutonic accent?!

Bra bok som vanligt när det gäller Christie. Tyvärr hemsk uppläsning

The narrator was very good except for her attempts at a French accent, which is unfortunate in a story featuring Hercule Poirot.

Bra bok men jag stör mig mycket på uppläsaren. Hennes egna berättarröst är kanon men hennes olika röster katastrofala: mansröster känns bara tillgjorda, brytningar inte ett dugg trovärdiga. T.ex. låter en fransk brytning som en tysk och hennes "amerikanska" ska vi inte ens tala om!

En bra Poirotberättelse.Tyvärr med en riktigt jobbig inläsare! Lyssnade TROTS hennes försök att bryta på flera språk. Hiskeligt!

Mer av samma goda om man nu gillar Christie's böcker. Lite äventyrlig miljö & bra uppläsning.
