About this listen

 A shocking crime A mansion filled with suspects

Ruth Van Rydock can’t shake the feeling that something terrible is going to happen to her sister at Stonygates house.

Her old school friend Jane Marple decides it’s time to pay a visit.

But this grand Victorian mansion isn’t just a family home – it’s also a correctional facility for wayward young men.

And when something terrible does indeed happen, Miss Marple must face her most eccentric cast of suspects yet.

Never underestimate Miss Marple

‘If a genius is someone who leaves the field they work in totally different from how they found it, then we should certainly remember Agatha Christie as a genius.’
Stephen Fry

‘No one on either side of the Atlantic does it better.’

Another solid Agatha Christie story and generally well performed by Emilia Fox - although occasionally her 'Male' voices (especially American) are a little strange. It is a good story but not one Agatha Christie's best, a bit of a 'pot boiler'.

Enjoyable but not the best Agatha Christie

Great storyline,which keeps you guessing right until the end. Brilliantly read as usual. Can’t wait for the next story.

Typically Christie

entertaining and light

I’ve always thought that this novel was lesser known than some of AC others. I’ve seen the telly adaptions of course but the book was so much better and it’s being narrated perfectly. Loved Wally. Bought as a BOGOF.

According to the blurb, this is narrated by Emelia Fox and read by Joan Hickson. Isn't this a contradiction?
