About this listen

 'You do see, don't you, that she's got to be killed? It's the only solution.' Even when on holiday in Jerusalem - the so-called City of Peace - Hercule Poirot can't seem to escape the strains of death and murder. His first evening at the King Solomon Hotel finds the above phrase floating into his room from outside. What does it mean? Who is the speaker, and just how seriously should it be considered? Whilst Poirot struggles to resist the lure of a fresh mystery, he cannot suppress the foreboding in his heart. Also in residence at the hotel are the Boyntons, a nervous American family held tightly in the grip of their matriarch. Then there is the young medic Sarah King, plus Dr Theodore Gerard, an expert in the subject of schizophrenia. These and other guests are thrown together on an organised trip to the ancient city of Petra. Whilst love apparently blossoms for Miss King, death visits another member of the party. It is clearly murder, and there are a number of likely suspects. Only one man has the skill to distinguish between them: Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christie's exotic mystery is dramatised with a full cast including Jill Balcon and Miriam Karlin. Crime Fiction Entertainment & Performing Arts

Appointment with Death is one of my favourite M. Poirot cases. I can listen to the dramatisation anytime. Very enjoyable.

Agatha Christie knew these locations well. I feel I am learning about the landscape and history at the same time as listening to a good whodunit .

Easy listen, enjoyable yarn, for those days when you need to multitask. This doesn't detract from its old world charm

Typical Christie

I recall this one as part of the Hercule Poirot tv series with actress Cheryle Campbell plays Lady Boynton and she was fear at its best, this one is the most scariest of all Christies works. This radio full cast is an excellent production too. A good tense few hours of entertainment with Agatha Christie. You can’t go wrong.

POWERFUL CHRISTIE AT HER BEST
