By: J. P. Pomare
Publisher's summary
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 - until 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.

"It was in the first week of October in the year 1391 that I first came face to face with the man who owned me… the man whose lightest word was to us, his villeins, weightier than the King’s law or the edicts of our Holy Father…” So began the story of Martin Reed - a serf whose resentment of the automatic rule of his feudal lord finally flared into open defiance.

Ebenezer Le Page, cantankerous, opinionated and charming, is one of the most compelling literary creations of the late 20th century. Eighty years old, Ebenezer has lived his whole life on the Channel Island of Guernsey, a stony speck of a place caught between England and France yet a world away from either. Ebenezer himself is fiercely independent, but as he reaches the end of his life he is determined to tell his own story and the story of those he has known.

A blinding snowstorm - and a homicidal maniac - traps a small party of friends in an isolated estate. Out of this deceptively simple setup, Agatha Christie fashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers, which in turn would provide the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in history. From this classic title novella to the deliciously clever gems on its tail (solved to perfection by Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple), this rare collection of murder most foul showcases Christie at her inventive best.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 574
Mrs. Packington felt alone, helpless, and utterly forlorn. But her life changed when she stumbled upon an advertisement in the Times that read: "Are you happy? If not, consult Mr. Parker Pyne." Equally adept at putting together the fragments of a murder mystery or the pieces of a broken marriage, Mr. Parker Pyne is possibly the world's most unconventional private investigator. Armed with just his intuitive knowledge of human nature, he is an Englishman abroad, traveling the globe to solve and undo crime and misdemeanor.

One of Agatha Christie's best
Once you've finished Endless Night for the first time, you'll want to listen again to see how cleverly Agatha tricked you throughout the book. More of a thriller than a detective story, this book stands out for its incredible psychological exploration of the main character. Even so, it's so full of foreshadowing and symbolism that it could be taught in an English class. Don't be fooled by the initial banality of romance -- the plot contains multitudes.

Amazing!
Even though I had to read this book for school, it ended up being such a great read! The twists and turns were mostly unexpected, and the other parts are quite sweet. It always a plus to hear a British man imitate different women's voices as well. Lol

Kind of abrupt....
It was kind of abrupt, how it turned out. Some of the reviews say that ending was unexpected or surprising. I find that the best word for me is abrupt. Cant say much else. Performance was awesome tho.

Atypical Christie ending
Wild ending, typical great Hugh Fraser performance - solid atmosphere although it has somewhat lackluster plot

A true mystery
This Gothic mystery held my attention from beginning to end. What an amazing conclusion from the Queen of Crime!
Hugh Fraser’s skill in narration puts the reader in the story until the last word is spoken.
