While playing an erratic round of golf, Bobby Jones slices his ball over the edge of a cliff. His ball is lost, but on the rocks below he finds the crumpled body of a dying man. The man opens his eyes and with his last breath says, "Why didn't they ask Evans?"

Narrator is completely fine!

I was very close to not getting this book because of all the hate on the narrator. It’s all very misplaced. The story is great, narration is not at all distracting or whatever else, totally worth it.

Mystery with a twist

I found this mystery to be quite different than some of the other ones I have listen to I very much enjoyed it it had me fooled till the very end I highly recommend this book for all Agatha Christie fans

Great story but painful to listen to Emilia

I love this story, many characters and non obvious plot. However this audio book version is very painful to listen to. Emilia Fox is a terrible narrator and tried too hard to do different accents and voices such that they come off strange and sometimes shrill. Sometimes her voice was also hoarse. I wish Hugh Fraser had narrated this instead.

One of my favorites!

I've read most of Agatha Christie's books and this is one of her best! Very nicely read.

A Favorite Christie's by A Favorite Narrator

Love the naivete of the main characters! No pompous gray cells here. Just bungling luck.

Better than the TV versions

I loved it. I would encourage anyone who likes Christy books to try this stand alone story.

Delightful, Classic Agatha Christie

A big Agatha Christie fan, I had not read (or listened to) Why Didn't They Ask Evans? I thoroughly enjoyed this fun whodunit from the queen of mysteries. The narration was superb, the pacing of the novel excellent, and the characters memorable. Great fun!

the story was fun , narrator needs better voices

The men's voices all sounded like a woman trying to sound like a man. Kind of distracting at times, but overall fairly well done.A very very fun story.

Wow! So well written, I was riveted! I’m so excited to get to watch the movie, but we all know the book is always better!
