Another title in the ever popular Agatha Christie series.
The suave and debonair Colonel Race must solve a question, not of ‘accidental death or suicide’, but ‘murder or double murder’.

Pretty, young Anne came to London looking for adventure. In fact, adventure comes looking for her – and finds her immediately at Hyde Park Corner tube station. Anne is present on the platform when a thin man, reeking of mothballs, loses his balance and is electocuted on the rails.

The Scotland Yard verdict is accidental death. But Anne is not satisfied.

After all, who was the man in the brown suit who examined the body? And why did he race off, leaving a cryptic message behind: ‘17-122 Kilmorden Castle’?

Fascinating story, challenging, couldnt put it down. Interesting views of life in South Africa at that time.

All male characters were not convincing and sounded the same I hate to say it but men are better at crossing genders Hugh Fraser being the best.

Didn't like the narration

This is a bad recording of the book. Be aware before buying it. It's very annoying when you're really into the story.

Bad recording

it goes without saying that the story was excellent but paired with the fabulous narration of Emila Fox it was joy to behold. Very sad to have finished it :0(

Just fab

The characters were well described, plot full of familiar devices but still entertaining.
I normally like Emilia Fox as a narrator, but this time her reading of the male character was too shouty and harsh, quite hard to listen to.

Implausible but fun story
