About this listen

 The new Hercule Poirot mystery by Sophie Hannah, follow-up to the bestselling Hercule Poirot’s Silent Night.

New Year's Eve, 1932.

Hercule Poirot and his good friend Inspector Edward Catchpool arrive on the Greek island of Lamperos for a little holiday…or is it?

Catchpool suspects Poirot has a different reason for being there — one he won't reveal. As the clock ticks towards the New Year and a festive guessing game takes a sinister turn, can Poirot stop a murderer who is determined to strike before midnight?

"A very clever and enjoyable whodunit." —Jake Kerridge, Sunday Telegraph

“Sophie Hannah does it again in this entertaining, page-turning resurrection of the great detective." —Nita Prose

"Fans hoping to beat Poirot to the mind-bogglingly ingenious solution are well-advised to concede the competition in advance." —Kirkus Review

“What Sophie and Agatha have in common is a rare talent for fiendish unpredictability: they make you see how the impossible might be possible after all.”—Sunday Telegraph

“Sophie Hannah is genuinely Christie’s heir.”—The Scotsman

What a charming book, with the turn of a page i went from knowing who did it to thinking them innocent on the very next. Never has such a bunch of plausable innocents got caught up living with those who's lies trip off the tongue, well done Sophie Hannah.

The twists and turns are simply Agatha reborn

I have loved the new series, but this was hard to finish. The narration as always was excellent, but the plot was a struggle. I agree with others who said too much Catchpool and not enough Poirot!

Ok, but not like the others

This sequel was perfectly serviceable but not as sharp as previous outings. The Narrator excellent as always

Not quite as good as previous
