About this listen

 A blizzard has hit England. In the tiny village of Sittaford, on the fringes of Dartmoor, a party of six is gathered in Sittaford House, home of Captain Trevelyan. He has rented the house out for the winter and is staying in a nearby village. As evening draws in, a seance is proposed. The lights are lowered and the table turning begins: various questions are asked, and the guests are delighted when the table jerks and rocks, revealing the answers. But the game turns sour when the board spells out a terrible message - TREVELYAN DEAD. As the horrified participants look on, the table begins to rock again, and fear grips the party as the sinister word appears - MURDER. Is it a macabre joke, black magic or the truth? And who would kill a man who doesn't have an enemy in the world? Crime Thrillers Dramatisations Suspense Thriller & Suspense Dramatised Mystery

One of her best stories that is an exciting whodunit and reflects social history of 1930's .

Brilliant performance from all actors. The story is superbly brought to life in this adaptation. One of my Christie's favourites.

Pure Agatha Christie

Excellent production of this story. The parts are played so well, and easily discernible from each other. One of those Christies stories that twists and turns and really gathers speed towards the end.

I really loved to sound effects, fire crackling, snowy sounds and crunching of feet in snow. Really creates a warm cosy feel or icy depending on scene. Music is used occasionally to add to the mood and atmosphere.

Parts are actually really scary! But then I don't want to spoil the story...

Loved it! Perfect for dog walking and ironing!

Spooky and atmospheric, outstanding performances.

The usual Agatha Chrisite - easy to listen to, excellent characters - just right! The BBC radio collection are well worth space on the shelf.

Great for a winter's evening

Yes, if they like Agatha Christie!

What did you like best about this story?

Cosy murder mystery.

Any additional comments?

I've been seeking out all the Hercule Poirot stories that feature John Moffat as I just love his Poirot. But in this dramatisation he plays a minor character and there's no Poirot! Should have read the blurb more carefully. Still a good story, though, if you like Agatha Christie :)

Good Christie, but not Poirot
