Publisher's summary

Two standalone novels from the queen of mystery, Agatha Christie. From the sprawling Leonide family to dark moors, no one can spin a mystery quite like she can.

Crooked House

The Leonides are one big happy family living in a sprawling, ramshackle mansion. That is until the head of the household, Aristide, is murdered with a fatal barbiturate injection.

Suspicion naturally falls on the old man’s young widow, 50 years his junior. But the murderer has reckoned without the tenacity of Charles Hayward, fiancé of the late millionaire’s granddaughter.

Endless Night

Strapped by a chauffeur's wages, Michael Rogers' want of a better life seems out of reach. Especially elusive is a magnificent piece of property in Kingston Bishop - unil a chance meeting with a beautiful heiress makes his dreams possible. Marrying her is the first step. Building the perfect home is the next.

Unfortunately, Michael ignored the local warnings about the deadly curse buried in the tract of land, and living out his dreams may exact a higher price than he ever imagined. Praised as one of Agatha Christie's most unusual forays into gothic, psychological suspense, this novel of fate, chance, and the nature of evil was a personal favorite of the author's as well.

Wonderfully creepy

Nobody does twisted nor greed like Dame Agatha. Fantastic performances by Hugh Fraser. Wonderful treatment of all the characters by Mr. Fraser, but the twisted thinking is fine work by the author .

Not your typical Agatha Christie book

These stories were darker than most of the novels I've read by Agatha Christie. Still well written but not my cup of tea.

Good but not her best

I enjoyed both of these stories, but they weren't as enjoyable as other Christie novels. I liked Crooked house more out of the two. Hugh Fraser is very good and I will seek out more of his work on Audible.

Two great mysteries!

You never know just what you're going to get with Agatha Christie, especially the novels that don't feature one of her popular detectives (Poirot, Marple, Tommy and Tuppence, etc). Dame Agatha didn't always play by the rules! Here we have two very different type of tales. Crooked House is more the regular type of puzzle. The old man of the house has been poisoned. Who did it? I have to admit that, at one time of another, I suspected nearly everyone. Endless Night is a very different novel. In fact, it's one of those that don't even seem like a mystery as you're reading it. This one I did suspect the truth, although I wasn't sure.

Good narration.

Good narration. Not my favorite Agatha Christie works. Two books for the price of one, though.

2 very different novels, but both good

Crooked House was a terrific story, and I liked it far better than Endless Night, but both were good. Crooked House seemed to have more energy and engaging characters, but Endless Night had more mystery and sense of foreboding. Both were good, and this was well worth the time.
