I enjoyed this.
This is one of my favourite Agatha Christie stories and it was well read by Emilia Fox. Some of the voices were a bit odd, but overall well worth a listen.

A gentle whodunnit
I always enjoy an Agatha Christie, I'm never quite certain who the murderer is until the end, and everything is light hearted and not too gruesome.

Why didn't they ask Evans?
A sunny day playing golf a scream a3/4 dead body unconscious he wakes to say why didn't they ask Evans? then dies
Who is Evans and who is the victim was he pushed or fallen?
These are the questions Bobby wants answers to but little did he know what he was getting into. A very intriguing storyline with lots of twists and misdirection really good audio book

Superb reading
I have enjoyed Emilia Fox’s reading very much. Great ability to change intonation and give each character his/her own peculiarity. She is one of my favourite readers. I have loved the book greatly.

Great story, shame about the weird accents
I loved the story and the characters. Emilia Fox’s narration is excellent for the most part and you certainly have no problem knowing which character is speaking. But what a pity she tries non-Queen’s English - the “Welsh” accent is particularly weird.

Strange mix
Another cracking mystery from the Queen of Crime, rather marred by the voices of the narrator. Amelia Fox has one voice for all men - laryngitis.

Classic Christie
Usual great Agatha Christie story - ms fox’s narration was not to my taste - her Welsh accent left much room for improvement.
