library Journal
this 1938 Hercule Poirot Mystery Is Not One Of Christie's Best, But Hugh Fraser's Engaging Reading Makes The Time Pass Pleasantly. Vacationing In Jerusalem, The Belgian Detective Encounters The Boyntons, A Wealthy American Family Dominated By Its Tyrannical Matriarch. When The Old Lady Suddenly Dies On An Excursion To The Ruins At Petra In Jordan, Her Children Come Under Suspicion. As Usual With Christie's Tales, There Are Romantic Complications Among The Tourists As Well. Except For Dr. Girard, A Famous French Psychiatrist, The Characters Are Rather Bland, With The Various Boyntons Not That Differentiated From One Another. Christie Also Does Surprisingly Little With The Middle East Setting. Fraser, Best Known As Captain Hastings In The Televised Versions Of The Poirot Stories, Gives His Usual Sympathetic Reading, Making The Protagonists Seem To Have Greater Depth. For Fraser's Efforts Alone, This Is Recommended For Popular Collections.-michael Adams, Cuny Graduate Ctr. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
