I like Ms. Christie's detectives Poirot and Marple. Passenger to Frankfurt is a large departure from Ms. Christie's usual subject, being similar to They Came to Baghdad and in fact not dissimilar to The Big Four (a Poirot). It could only be described as a spy novel and isn't really all that good I'm sad to say. The basic premise is that the world is about to be subverted by youth with links to the Aryan master race.

The first really boring Agatha Christie that I have read. She calls this a "fantasy". It's a political "thriller", and I use that term loosely here because this book is NOT thrilling in any way at all. Even the touch of romance is not interesting.

I love Agatha Christie books, but this is probably one book of hers that I couldn't get into and cannot like, ever. It's a political spy/mystery thriller, I suppose, but even after three quarters of the book I still couldn't clearly grasp what the real issue is. The characters are very stale, and the dialogues long and winding. I've tried to plough through to the end, but it doesn't get any better. Not a good one, Miss Christie!

An interesting tale of intrigue and mystery. A young woman asks a man at an airport to give her his cloak and passport so that she may take his flight and live; later, it is found out that she was carrying a birth certificate at the time. The story is a page turner!

I didn't enjoy this one very much. The plot seemed a little contrived to me.
