About this listen

10 invited guests on an island…

Ten strangers, apparently with little in common, are lured to an island mansion off the coast of Devon by the mysterious U.N.Owen. Over dinner, a record begins to play, and the voice of an unseen host accuses each person of hiding a guilty secret. That evening, former reckless driver Tony Marston is found murdered by a deadly dose of cyanide.

The tension escalates as the survivors realise the killer is not only among them but is preparing to strike again… and again…

Critic reviews

‘Agatha Christie’s masterpiece.’
Spectator

‘One of the very best, most genuinely bewildering Christies.’
Observer

‘The most astonishingly impudent, ingenious and altogether successful mystery story since The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.’
Daily Herald

‘One of the most ingenious thrillers in many a day.’
Time Magazine

‘There is no doubt that this is a highly ingenious jigsaw by a master of puzzling.’
Books

‘There is no cheating; the reader is just bamboozled in a straightforward way from first to last… The most colossal achievement of a colossal career. The book must rank with Mrs Christie’s previous best – on the top notch of detection.’
New Statesman

‘The whole thing is utterly impossible and utterly fascinating. It is the most baffling mystery Agatha Christie has ever written.’
New York Times

I've read a lot of AC, but mostly Marple and Poirot, very few stand alone. I bought this because of the amazing BBC adaptation last year (well worth a watch by the way). The audiobook didn't disappoint. Absolutely gripping and read brilliantly. Sometimes I forget how masterful AC was!

Superb

Dan Stevens is a classy narrator and I've really enjoyed all his audiobooks - here I wasn't so keen on the voice he used for Justice Wargrave, but that aside, he brought it all to vivid life and left room for the listener to fill in any ambiguities. A perfectly well paced thriller, particularly once the soldiers begin to fall, ever more rapidly - builds a sense of isolation, paranoia and fatalism which kept us nicely gripped throughout both a plane journey and two train journeys. Christie does it again - without that little man's grey cells this time! (Oh, but the neat conclusion was just a little too neat, perhaps - we couldn't quite picture the final scenario working so well as it did...!)

Satisfying

Thoroughly enjoyed this story. Dan Stevens narration was superb & he has a good variety of character voices & accents even the women.

Agatha Christie at her best
