Suspicious events at a Middle Eastern archaeological excavation site intrigue the great Hercule Poirot as he investigates Murder in Mesopotamia, a classic murder mystery from Agatha Christie.

Amy Leatheram 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. 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 not just across the desert, but into the darkest crevices of the human soul to unravel a mystery which taxes even his remarkable powers.

Well, this is the first novel of Agatha Christie which didn't impress me and I was rather glad to finish it. Personally the nurse is even more foolish and far more annoying than Hastings.
Also the narrator has a terrible accent for Hercule Poirot and was all in all not very convincing. It might be better or more enjoyable with a different narrator.

Not as good as usual

I picked this up after reading many modern thrillers and Agatha Christie is truly the Queen of crime. I didn’t know this book yet and I don’t know how I had missed this previously. A great story and wonderfully performed. I also loved the setting of British snobs on an archaeological dig in Iraq.

Wonderful- Queen Christie rules!

The plot of the story was interesting, even though some plot points were quite obvious if you are an avid reader of Poirots cases.
I did not particulary like Anna Massey as the narrator, the voices of the different characters are not distinct enough in my opinion and her French accent is really quite bad.

Not one of Poirots best cases...
