  <default_description>A tyrannical old martinet, a mental sadist and the incarnation of evil. These were only three of the character descriptions levelled at Mrs. Boynton, the matriarch who kept her family totally dependent on her. But did she really deserve to die on the excursion to beautiful Petra? Hercule Poirot hears about the murder and feels compelled to investigate-despite the family's request not to do so. Do they have something to hide and, if so, can they keep it hidden from this master sleuth?</default_description>

One of my complaints about Christie is that she springs an important clue on you late in the game so that you really haven't a fair chance of figuring out they mystery. In other words,she doesn't play fair. I have to say that that was not the case in this one. The...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48757184">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I've yet to read an Agatha Christie book that wasn't entertaining, but this is one of her lesser works. <em>The Mysterious Affair at Styles</em> or <em>The Murder of Roger Ackroyd</em>, for example, are far superior. Still, she'll keep you guessing whodunnit up until the very end.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA['Appointment with Dead' by Agatha Christie was first published in 1938 (London).<br/>Like all the other of A. Christie's books it's a pageturner.<br/>The last seventy pages I read with an agreeable stress. But this book was extremely exciting.<br/>I advise everyone who likes detectives to read th...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another solution from out of the blue, although I don't mind as much with this one, because I want everyone to be innocent. I do love the characters, their relationships, and their worries. And the victim is one of those people you love to hate.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a terrific book! I would recommend this book to all the mystery fans out there. In most mystery books you can guess who the suspect is, but in this book you can't find out who the suspect is till the end. So the book starts out with a middle aged woman named Mrs. Boynton and her family. Her...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36949278">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Likes:  Perfect plot, cast of characters, and sense of humor.  Just enough detail to make you suspect everybody, but not so much that it overwhelms you.<br/>Dislikes:  The 3-years-later afterward was overly sweet and cheesy.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was rather disappointed by the solution to this mystery, but I had to give it good marks because I absolutely hated the old woman in this book to the point that I wanted to kill her.  THAT is great writing.  ]]></body>
