About this listen

 'A murder is announced and will take place on Friday, October 29, at Little Paddocks, at 6:30pm. Friends please accept this, the only intimation.' Nestled among the usual notices about dogs for sale and appeals for domestic help, the startling entry in the personal column of the Chipping Cleghorn Gazette has the entire village agog with curiosity. Is it a game? And who is meant to attend? The mistress of Little Paddocks, Letitia Blacklock, is also taken completely by surprise. Suspecting her nephew of a practical joke, she's sure of one thing: half the village will be converging on the house expecting a glass of sherry. Sure enough, the evening sees a crowd of residents standing expectantly in the drawing-room. Then the clock strikes the half-hour, the lights go out, and three gunshots ring in the dark. When the lights go back on, the promised murder has been committed. Can Miss Marple work out what has happened and why? One of Agatha Christie's most intriguing mysteries is dramatised with a full cast including Ian Lavender and Jamie Glover.

A first class dramatisation of one of Christie's classic murder mysteries - this one is one of the best - one of my favourite stories of hers, and one of the best dramatisations of all of her stories and I have nearly all of them and listen to them all regularly. Enjoy!

A Classic!

Yet another intriguing murder mystery from Agatha Christie well produced by the BBC and acted with full professional cast from some of the best English actors. A Murder is Announced is such fun. I enjoy listening to this at least a couple of times per year. It is what I call ‘comfort’ listening. The storyline is so unrealistic yet enjoyable because it is all pure fantasy fun.

Superb performance of a classic. Excellent cast, June Whitfield is an extremely credible Marple. Story is wonderfully far fetched but all the better for it! Lovely short Marplesque musical interludes add to the listening pleasure. A relaxing Sunday afternoon listen.

A drama to die for!
