Summary

An exclusive hotel on a tiny picturesque island seems to be the ideal retreat for Hercule Poirot from the stresses of criminal detection. But with the appearance of the beautiful Arlena Stuart, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere becomes charged with an indefinable erotic tension. And when she is found viciously strangled in a secluded cove, there are few, especially among the women, who seem to feel either surprise or regret.

As Poirot follows a twisting path of bizarre and bewildering clues, his only certainties are that the solution lies within Arlena herself, and that there is evil under the sun.

John Moffat is Hercule Poirot in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation with an all-star cast which includes Iain Glen, Fiona Fullerton, Robin Ellis, Wendy Craig, George Baker and Joan Littlewood.

Cut too short

Unfortunately it slipped my attention that this version is cut down to only 2hrs and a bit. (For the same price) Dramatisation is very entertaining but the chopped story becomes a bit confusing and the atmosphere gets lost. Disappointing as I was hoping for longer entertainment.

Absolutely love Agatha Christie

I am thoroughly enjoying these dramatisations as they are so easy to listen to. John Moffatt as Poirot is brilliant. He is up there with Suchet who was brilliant on screen. Great cast as well and more in keeping with the book as we!ll. For anyone who has seen the film with Peter Ustinov as Poirot this adaptation is more to the book. Have several to get through!

Great story and solid cast

One of my favourite Christie whodunits brought to life by a good cast. Moffat is the radio Poirot for me. Being picky I find George Baker an actor better to watch than listen too but he is still competent. My kids (aged 10 and 8) love all the BBC radio adaptions too especially on camping trips or long car journeys.

Superb!

A superb performance from all concerned. A thoroughly entertaining listen and an utterly pleasurable few hours spent in the company of Poirot and his little grey cells.
A good story, an excellent recording complete with atmospherics and a wonderful cast.
Recommended.

Agatha Christie's 'Evil Under The Sun' - Great

My first full Audible book. Some of the plot was different but I absolutely loved this BBC production of it. The voices, the music and narration were really great. Nice one!
