Description:
Hercule Poirot visits his old friend Captain Hastings at an archeological dig in Iraq and uncovers a multitude of secrets. The plot has all the makings of a soap opera: an impostor, drug addiction, jealousy, forged letters, theft, and of course, murder. But Poirot's sophistication, as expertly portrayed by David Suchet in a crisp linen suit, helps Murder in Mesopotamia to rise above melodrama most of the time. Poirot has his own poignant drama woven into the plot: he was originally invited to Baghdad by the Countess Vera Rosakoff (whom viewers may remember from "The Double Clue" in Agatha Christie's Poirot, Vol. 5) but she is not at her hotel when he arrives. Poirot's dejection at her continued absence makes an apt framing device for this tale of a murderer driven by passion. Lively acting and an exotic, sun-drenched set enhance this video adaptation, making it as sinfully enjoyable as a good dose of juicy gossip. --Larisa Lomacky Moore
