Editorial Reviews

Review

'Nothing should be taken for granted.' Spectator 'Agatha Christie gives us one of her rare thrillers in place of a detective story - just to show that she can write the one as well as the other.' Sunday Times 'A first-class thriller.' Birmingham Post --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

When a number of leading scientists disappear, concern grows within the intelligence services. Are they being kidnapped? Blackmailed? Brainwashed? One woman appears to hold the key to the mystery. But she is found dead. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars ADVENTUROUS FUN, June 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Destination Unknown (Mass Market Paperback)
As usual, when Christie boots Poirot and Mrs. Marple, you're in for an adventurous and fun book. It all starts when a harried detective stops a girl from committing suicide and asks her to step in the place of a dead woman in order to solve a mystery. From then on you have mayhem, danger, and sweeping romance. Trust me, this is a great book--especially if you're a little bored and depressed yourself!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Rare Christie thriller, June 22, 2005
By Jeanne Tassotto (Trapped in the Midwest) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Destination Unknown (St. Martin's Minotaur Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
This 1955 novel is a departure from her more well known cosy series books. This one has none of her more familiar characters like Poirot or Marple, the setting is mostly the North African desert and centers on a James Bond type conspiracy complete with secret hideout and mysterious, fabulously wealthy mastermind.

Hilary Craven has been defeated by life, her daughter has died, her husband has left her and she has nothing left to live for. She has decided to leave England and in an out-of-the-way spot in Morocco end it all. Circumstances intervene and instead of a quiet end in a lonely hotel room Hilary finds herself cast in the role of secret agent.

This is a rather standard thriller type novel. Although a departure from Christie's usual fare there are still many of her more familiar motifs. The 'hero' is a single woman off on a adventure (like MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT), there is also a 'master criminal' (like the Tommy and Tuppence series or PASSENGER TO FRANKFURT) and much of the action takes place in an isolated, contained environment. As always in Christie's work the clues are all there for the reader to follow right up to the surprise ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars Christie Excels With Story of International Intrigue, June 13, 2001
By Antoinette Klein (Hoover, Alabama USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Destination Unknown (Mass Market Paperback)
Hilary Craven, the heroine of this story, wishes to commit suicide. The sleeping pills are on her bedside table and all is ready for self-imposed death when a knock on the door changes her plans. A young man tells her the story of a nuclear physicist who has disappeared. Hilary, intrigued by the drama, agrees to impersonate the scientist's wife and begins an improbable masquerade that leads her deep into Africa to an unknown destination.

This is a book you will probably want to read in one sitting because of its breathless excitement which culminates in a surprising ending.
