BookScore

“I have the feeling many people wouldn’t like this noir thriller. It has some disturbing descriptions in it. If you have read or watched Audition by Ryu Murakami then you are approaching similar Japanese, no punches pulled thriller.
The lead character who it’s hard to like, incapacitates important businessman and Politicians and photographs them in uncompromising situations, this is held in a database to wield the threat if they don’t tow the underworld line of power. Things go wrong…
A weird 6/10

“Never having read an Agatha Christie novel before I thought I should. Looks like a picked the wrong one, it was dreadful!
If this is her attempt to pen a James Bond thriller type of book then it falls well short. I’m sharing a review of this novel from when it was first published. but my score is 2/10
Robert Barnard: “”The last of the thrillers, and one that slides from the unlikely to the inconceivable and finally lands up in incomprehensible muddle. Prizes should be offered to readers who can explain the ending. Concerns the youth uproar of the ‘sixties, drugs, a new Aryan superman and so on, subjects of which Christie’s grasp was, to say the least, uncertain (she seems to have the oddest idea of what the term ‘Third World’ means, for example). Collins insisted she subtitle the book ‘An Extravaganza.’ One can think of other descriptions.””
