Review: 
Hilary Craven has lost everything that is dear to her and cannot contemplate life any longer. As she sets out to act on her despair, she is approached with a proposition…
I said it before and I say it again: Dame Agatha did not write good spy thrillers. This another proof of it. Although, Destination Unknown was not as outrageously bad as Passenger to Frankfurt – I mean really, not many books are as bad as that – this one was quite boring.
Maybe it was because the story was too slow paced, or maybe it was because the idea of merging Christie’s signature twee style with a supposedly hard-boiled Cold War thriller just didn’t work. Whatever the reason, I was so bored.
Next!

Such a shame did she write many spy stories?

Thankfully she didn’t. This is the second one I’ve read and I believe Postern of Fate may be another one. There are few of her mysteries that also lean towards the spy genre, and the ones I’ve read of those also tend to be less great than her straight murder mysteries.
On a completely different subject, how are you getting on with For Your Eyes Only?

I’m at the beginning of Riscio. I’ve joined the new forum and just waiting for a ‘staff approval’ email. What about you?
