Postern of Fate

A Tommy and Tuppence Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Hugh Fraser

Tommy and Tuppence Beresford return in Agatha Christie’s classic Postern of Fate, to investigate a deadly poisoning sixty years after the fact.

Tommy and Tuppence Beresford have just become the proud owners of an old house in an English village. Along with the property, they have inherited some worthless bric-a-brac, including a collection of antique books. While rustling through a copy of The Black Arrow, Tuppence comes upon a series of apparently random underlinings.

However, when she writes down the letters, they spell out a very disturbing message: ""Mary Jordan did not die naturally."" And sixty years after their first murder, Mary Jordan's enemies are still ready to kill. . . .

Possibly my favorite of this series.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

After reading reviews, I almost missed out on this wonderful book. My favorite part of the whole series is Tommy and Tuppence's interactions with each other, and this book made me laugh a lot (though not as much as "Partners in Crime").
I'm really sad that there aren't more books in the Tommy and Tuppence series, they became instant favorites. I will probably re-listen to these last two the most, because I love the matured relationship of these characters and old Albert.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tuppence. Her spunk, wit, and tenacity -among other things. :)

What does Hugh Fraser bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I LOVE Hugh Frazer's performances. I would almost buy a book just to keep listening to him.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a lot, especially at Tuppence's experiences with True Love and Matilda's surgery.

Better than I thought.

Charming, rambling, slow. A nice farewell to Tommy and Tuppence. Interesting fact--Mr. Robinson appears in this and a Poirot and a Miss Marple, connecting the Christie universe.

Enjoyable ❤️

Enjoyable, thoroughly, at the beginning!
...And then after some time of confusion and annoyance, enjoyable again--once you start to realize Agatha Christie is probably playing a joke on you-- wanting people to allow her to retire...
--and yet closing up shop with the help of two of her most favorite characters that we all love. I am glad we got one more
Tommy and Tuppence!

Also it is good reference list of so many old time things you might have found spoken of in The Good Old Days magazines...
Things mostly long forgotten --except for those classic children's books, of which I and mine have read some, and hope to read more!

A bit of a slow start but hang in there! It gets good!

Hugh Fraser is wonderful, as always! (I could- and do!-listen to him for hours on end!) This story starts a bit slowly but keep listening! It’s not as immediately gripping as the other Tommy and Tuppence books but it gets there-just keep listening (for the first hour or so) and then it picks up and becomes quite engaging! I deducted a star for the story because of the slow start but it’s really quite a charming book-just like all of the others! It’s not as fast-paced as the other T&T books BUT it is, nevertheless, a VERY good spy/mystery story with our favorite dynamic duo AND the bravest dog in England! I highly recommend that you give this book a chance!!

Tommy & Tuppence are a favourite...

I love Tommy and Tuppence...I enjoyed the discoveries made through books in the fascinating home that is now theirs. I also loved the rocking horse mystery. I was shocked by the negative reviews elsewhere. This was probably my fourth or fifth reading, over three decades plus. It's a good mystery with beloved characters. I'm re-reading them in reverse order this time, and not all at once.
