Summary

Designed to match the new look Hercule Poirot series.

Read by Hugh Fraser who play Captain Hastings in the popular TV series.

Lucy Angkatell invited Hercule Poirot to lunch. To tease the great detective, her guests stage a mock murder beside the swimming pool. Unfortunately, the victim plays the scene for real. As his blood drips into the water, John Christow gasps one final word: ‘Henrietta’. In the confusion, a gun sinks to the bottom of the pool.

Poirot’s enquiries reveal a complex web of romantic attachments. It seems everyone in the drama is a suspect – and each a victim of love.

I only listen to these Agatha Christies because Hugh Fraser is such a marvellous narrator. Books I would be unlikely to read to myself I listen to just to hear Fraser's easy going craftsmanship. This one is especially good because he has some wonderful characters to have fun with. And the story is also, I think, one of Christie's better ones.

Hugh Fraser at his best
