Sparkling Cyanide

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Hugh Fraser

In Sparkling Cyanide, Agatha Christie seats six—including a murderer—around a dining table set for seven, one year to the day that a beautiful heiress was poisoned in that very room.

Six people sit down to a sumptuous meal at a table laid for seven. In front of the empty place is a sprig of rosemary—""rosemary for remembrance."" A strange sentiment considering no one is likely to forget the night, exactly a year ago, that Rosemary Barton died at exactly the same table, her beautiful face unrecognizable, convulsed with pain and horror.

But then Rosemary had always been memorable—she had the ability to arouse strong passions in most people she met. In one case, strong enough to kill. . . .

Character changes

The characters and their changes made this a very fun listen while cleaning closets. After reading the reviews I was really looking forward to listening and comparing my reaction. I loved the whole book.

Christie subverts herself!

The structure of the first half of the book is really great, giving a retrospective from all five of the main suspects, but my very favorite part is that Christie breaks one of her own unspoken rules to give a really great twist!

Top drawer narration, clever plot

Agatha Christie weaves another clever mystery brought to life fantastically by the narrator Hugh Fraser

Loved This!

Absolutely loved this book! Christie’s writing and story telling are just phenomenal. Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! She always has such dynamic characters, and this story has just exactly that. And don’t get me started on Hugh Fraser’s performance! I don’t have words for how amazing it is!! Makes me want to listen to all the Christie works he’s done instead of read them! Overall a great book and outstanding performance!
