I was much more in the mood for a "whodunnit" and I got a "what'sgoingon". It felt like two more or less incomplete books shoved into one and I couldn't quite follow either of them. Perhaps it makes more sense to the veteran Christie fan. I'll try a different one of hers next time. (  )Alliebadger | Apr 13, 2009 |   Essential Reading. Agatha seems to have foretold much of the way the world is beginning to be run. Very appropriate for our times. (  )njtrout | Dec 27, 2008 | Christie tries to do Bond but ends up more like Buchan, not really very focused... ( )Figgles | Oct 2, 2008 | Another Christie thriller. This is very much of its time and has elements of 'The Boys From Brazil' as well as picking up on conspiracy theme explored in other of her thrillers like 'Destination Unknown' and 'The Big Four'. Not her best but still quite enjoyable. (  )riverwillow | Sep 30, 2008 | It is a strange thing when a writer attempts to pull off a global conspiracy in a book that doesn't really appear to have the space for it. This is what Ms. Christie does in Passenger to Franfurt. A very disjointed book, starting off with intriguing characters and a lovely confontation in the Frankfurt airport, but then going into They Saved Hitler's Brain mode with a global neo-Nazi conspiracy, and ending abruptly with a seemingly John Galt-ish invention of a magic powder that will save the world. Nevertheless, Christie is an enjoyable writer and each individual scene taken on its own is well written and interesting. Good book to stick in a purse and read a few pages when you have time.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0007154925, Paperback)Agatha Christie is more than the most popular mystery writer of all time. In a career that spans over half a century, her name is synonymous with brilliant deception, ingenious puzzles, and the surprise denouement. By virtually inventing the modern mystery novel she has earned her title as the Queen of Crime. Curious? Then you're invited to read... Passenger To Frankfurt It was an unusual predicament for Sir Stafford Nye-to awaken in a stupor after being drugged, only to find his passport stolen. There was also no trace of the fascinating woman he encountered in Frankfurt who begged him to help save her life. But Sir Stafford's troubles are only just beginning. The target of two murder attempts, he now seeks the help of the stranger who so urgently sought his. If he can locate her. What he finds is a woman of numerous identities and twice as many secrets, who ushers him into the shadows of an international conspiracy that could well prove to be the death of them.
