An early Agatha with romantic heroine, Anne Beddington, up against an unknown evil tyrant. Great fun as the mystery progresses from England to on shipboard. A charming change of pace for Agatha fans from Poirot and Marple. An American narrator.

The story is vintage Christie and a nice relief from Marple and Poirot. As with other reviews the concept of continuous background music is dubious and the music chosen was really jarring.

Ridiculous Music

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story and performance by narrator would havae been fine except for that CONSTANT music repeating over and over. Sorry but it didn't work!

music background kills it

I could not listen to this audiobook version. The background music is torture. I wish I could have turned it off.

awful backround music

The book I got was nothing like the description of The MSN in the Brown Suit. Whatever it was, there was a background of maddening music that I kept expecting to stop but never did.

Awful

I listened to the complete first chapter hoping the xylophone music would stop. it is as loud as the narrator, and has nothing to do with the narrative. it makes it hard to listen to the story!! to is a repetitive noise that cannot be ignored. Agatha Christie is a great author. this reading is a shame.
