The Sittaford Mystery

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Full Cast, John Moffatt, Stephen Tompkinson

A blizzard has hit England. In the tiny village of Sittaford, on the fringes of Dartmoor, a party of six is gathered in Sittaford House, home of Captain Trevelyan. He has rented the house out for the winter and is staying in a nearby village. As evening draws in, a seance is proposed. The lights are lowered and the table turning begins: various questions are asked, and the guests are delighted when the table jerks and rocks, revealing the answers. But the game turns sour when the board spells out a terrible message - TREVELYAN DEAD. As the horrified participants look on, the table begins to rock again, and fear grips the party as the sinister word appears - MURDER. Is it a macabre joke, black magic or the truth? And who would kill a man who doesn't have an enemy in the world?

Very nice and suspenseful

This was a very good story and I liked the suspense in the story. The murderer was surprising and a little bit expected

One of the best stand alone Christie stories

Entertaining and well performed full cast audio adaptation of Agatha Christie's book. As each mystery unfolds, it is easy to imagine you are really there experiencing it all.

A Storm, A Seance, and Murder

His ingenious and resourceful fiancee enlists an ambitious reporter to aid her in finding out the truth.
