"Damned chilly things, pyjamas"
I usually enjoy dramatisations of Agatha Christie's works but the books themselves seem flat and two dimensional so I usually avoid them. But I took a chance with this one and am so glad I did. It has everything - theft, murder, royal personages, bumbling peers, foreigners, black bearded strangers, a helpful policeman, spiffing girls and afternoon tea. All rather P.G.Wodehouse meets the Famous Five.
"How frightfully exciting ... somewhat violent activity".
" What do you think we'd better do now? Go back to bed?"
Oh, the fun! Forget the story and enjoy the ride, perfectly narrated by Hugh Fraser.

Agatha Christie at her best
I adore this book, always have. None of the famous characters, just a rip roaring plot of a country house murder with people who aren't what they appear, undecover detectives, a rathet dashing hero, and an imaginary European nation. Glorious

Brilliant thriller from Dame Agatha
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Definitely, it's a long one though, perfect for long drives.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Lord Caterham, so well played, made me smile...
Have you listened to any of Hugh Fraser’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Hugh Fraser never fails to create amazing tension and humour combined, he really brings characters to life,
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The girl guide part.... Sad.
Any additional comments?
I recommend this book to anyone on a long drive or really wanting to get their teeth into a great thriller. I decorated my lounge listening to this, it made the job much more palatable!

convoluted yet dull
I love Agatha Christie but this one was tedious. it was hard to care about any of the chartacters and the plot was dull despite being convoluted.

Keep guessing?
Agatha Christie at her most mysterious and enigmatic.
Kept me guessing all the way to the end.
Lots of twists and turns along the way but thoroughly enjoyable all the way to the denouement.

Surprisingly Racist
Starts as just xenophobic with regard to Slavic states and then:
"Oh no, tell me your new wife isn't black!"
"No, don't worry, it's nothing like that; she's white as anything."
Story isn't good either.
