About this listen

Everyone blamed Emily’s accident on a rubber ball left on the stairs by her frisky terrier. But the more she thought about her fall, the more convinced she became that one of her relatives was trying to kill her.

On April 17th she wrote her suspicions in a letter to Hercule Poirot. Mysteriously he didn’t receive the letter until June 28th… by which time Emily was already dead…

This is an excellent Agatha Christie novel, with Hercule Poirot as the investigator of a possible murder. The story flows so well that it illustrates why the author was so successful. It is a story set in the late 1920's or early 1930’s ( I think) with all of the sensibilities of that era. There were many red herrings, so I did not predict the solution, but the explanation made sense and was therefore completely satisfying. The narration, by High Fraser, was good and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the novel.

An entertaining mystery from the 1930's

Love all of Mrs Christine's work. Transports you back to a much simpler time. Lots of clues to satisfy the amateur sleuth.

Lovely narrative. Clearly told.

A house full of suspects and plenty of means and motives. Agatha Christie has done it again. Poirot, after receiving a delayed letter, continues to investigate a considered natural death of an old lady who believes someone was trying to kill her. Well worth a credit.

Beautifully narrated, a greatly constructed mystery, everyone is suspicious, Poirot is on point and Hastings is delightfully bewildered. it the star is Bob, giving him a voice is genius and he was a real bright point in the story.

Bob is the hero
