About this listen

 In 1940s London, Hercule Poirot is cornered by the club bore and learns of a mysterious death - one which sets him off on one of his most intriguing cases. When Gordon Cloade is killed in a London air raid his vast fortune passes to his young wife Rosaleen. Cloade's relatives are desperate to get their hands on his money, and Rosaleen begins to fear for her life. The prospects for the Cloade relatives improve when they discover that Rosaleen had a previous husband who had perished mysteriously in Africa. Then a mysterious stranger appears in the village, saying that he has something to communicate to her, but the following morning he is found dead. Was the murdered man in fact Rosalind's first husband? Who murdered him - and why?

Just like listening to the TV version of Hercule Poirot only this is the radio version with the great John Moffat as Hercule of which John is perfect in the role.

A full professional cast of great actors who pull of this production with aplomb. I like these audio productions so much, I have bought the lot and enjoy having them all in my collection to listen to over & over when ever I like.

If you like Poirot you will love these first class productions. I doubt that we will see the likes of these ever again. Well worth buying.

I enjoyed this dramatisation, it made perfect easy listening. It was well performed and pleasing to listen to, but rather like and abridged book it wasn't quite as satisfying as the full unabridged book.

An easy listen

I normally love Listening and the BBC, full cast audio.
However, on looking for something new, I came across this story, as brilliant as the other versions of a Poirot mystery, a version with a twist, in a way that I have not heard before.
This was also a move for me as this would read by a single narrator, the very talented, John Moffat. His , voice, a fourth, very calming but he was able to use his voice with ease, into the different roles of, each character .
After a few chapters of tuning in, I thoroughly enjoyed, John Moffat, narrating , all the different roles.

I love , all things Agatha Christie!
