Suspenseful!

I think I liked this Agatha Christy mystery so much because I figured this one out before the end.

Short and Sweet

Great shorter listen. I predicted the ending about half way through but everything tied together nicely. Christie never disappoints.

Brilliant narration of a excellent whodunit

A classic christie with lots of twists and turns. Enjoyed the pace and the great atmosphere; and of course, it was a pleasure to hear Captain Hastings narrate it!

Highly recommended

Agatha does not disappoint

This story is shorter than many of the other Christie novels. Perfect for a quick road trip. Hugh Fraser delivers a great performance. Highly recommend!!
