À propos de cet audio

Christie's superb stand-alone mystery, Passenger to Frankfurt, is a true masterwork of surprise and suspense, as a diplomat comes to the aid of a terrified woman in an airport, only to find that his identity has been stolen and his life is suddenly in serious jeopardy.

Sir Stafford Nye's flight home from Malaya takes an unprecedented twist when a young woman confides in him that someone is trying to kill her. In a moment of weakness, he agrees to lend her his passport. Unwittingly, the diplomat has put his own life on the line.

When he meets the mystery woman again, she is a different person, and he finds himself drawn into a battle against an invisible—and altogether more dangerous—enemy. . . .

Buy this last if you buy it at all, and only if you, like me, feel a need to have all of Agatha Christie's works, from the best to the worst.

This is arguably Agatha Christie's worst piece of work, certainly it is among the lowest rank. In her writing career she attempted the spy thriller about half a dozen times, never very well. Passenger to Frankfurt is a mess with a ludicrous string of conspiracy theories intertwined with psuedo science, stock characters, and tropes that are wholly unconvincing and un-entertaining. The plot is ridiculous and the storytelling repetitive and quite frankly boring.

The narration by Hugh Fraser is very workmanlike, but it is not enough to elevate the source material.

If you do listen to (or read) the whole book you will come across a few scenes that shine like gems in the muck, a few passages of lovely descriptions and vivid realism, like a child coveting a koala in an airport lounge, that almost certainly Agatha Christie had to have really observed.
