Critic Reviews

"The plots are so good that one marvels...most of them would have made a full length thriller." ( Daily Mirror)

Just Don't

I know all the arguments about 'a story of its time' but the barely disguised racism just renders this unlistenable.

Nothing Special

No Hercule Poirot in this story, not a particularly interesting story, but good to hear Christopher Lee.

Sir Christopher Lee brings the story alive

I finally found a story by Agatha Christie that has not immediately thrilled me. although an enjoyable short story it is the amazing Reading by Sir Christopher Lee that brought the story alive. I have listened to story now many times was travelling on the bus to work.
