The Sittaford Mystery

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Hugh Fraser

The Sittaford Mystery is Dame Agatha at her most intriguing, as a séance in a snowbound house predicts a particularly grisly murder.

In a remote house in the middle of Dartmoor, six shadowy figures huddle around a table for a seance. Tension rises as the spirits spell out a chilling message: ""Captain Trevelyan . . . dead . . . murder.""

Is this black magic or simply a macabre joke? The only way to be certain is to locate Captain Trevelyan. Unfortunately, his home is six miles away and, with snowdrifts blocking the roads, someone will have to make the journey on foot. . . .

Loved it

Just started listening and reading older mysteries. Enjoying them. Well done narrower. Just d i

Hugh Fraser

Hugh Fraser's performance makes it all the more enjoyable! The story is entertaining, though not one of Christie's best. Still worth a listen

Good Story

A different group of characters, not overly well developed, and an interesting story. Worth the listen for Christie fans because it isn't a Poirot our Marple story. The ending is somewhat lackluster and the performance struggles a bit on the voices. The main characters are well enough differentiated, but the peripheral ones, not so much.

Hugh Fraser is superb!

Hugh’s performance is enjoyable and reminiscent of his portrayal of Hastings in Agatha Christie’s Poirot.

Mystery, Humor, Solid Characters, and Hugh Fraser!

The Sittaford Mystery, also appearing in some copies as Murder at Hazelmoor, is a fun and entertaining book to listen to on Audible. As with all Christie books, it is a light murder mystery, one that does not dwell on the grotesque, but rather on the mystery surrounding the characters and the clues. The characters are well-written, and Hugh Fraser's outstanding narration helps to immediately identify their personalities. Emily and Charles bring humor to the book. And, ironically, Inspector Narracott's thoughts provide several red herring chases, each of which help drive the plot. This is a well-rounded story. Remember to listen when each character speaks, no matter how minor! Story line is more interesting than the modern movie. Definitely my favorite Christie book!
