About this listen

A new Agatha Christie thriller, described by her as “one of my best.”

The Leonides were one big happy family living in a sprawling, ramshackle mansion. That was until the head of the household, Aristide, was murdered with a fatal barbiturate injection.

Suspicion naturally falls on the old man’s young widow, fifty years his junior. But the murderer has reckoned without the tenacity of Charles Hayward, fiance of the late millionare’s granddaughter…

Spoiled AGAIN (the second audible book) by that horrible, grating American voice (Audible) hoping I enjoyed it before the last syllable had left Hugh Frazer’s lips. Please stop doing this - I know it is Audible, I bought the recording from you!!!

Love the book and narrator
