À propos de cet audio
Two of Agatha Christies’ favorite novels now brought together in audio, just for you.
Towards Zero: What is the connection among a failed suicide attempt, a wrongful accusation of theft against a schoolgirl, and the romantic life of a famous tennis player?
To the casual observer, apparently nothing. But when a house party gathers at Gull’s Point, the seaside home of an elderly widow, earlier events come to a dramatic head. As Superintendent Battle discovers, it is all part of a carefully laid plan - for murder.
Ordeal By Innocence: According to the courts, Jacko Argyle bludgeoned his mother to death with a poker. The sentence was life imprisonment. But when Dr. Arthur Calgary arrives with the proof that confirms Jacko’s innocence, it is too late - Jacko died behind bars following a bout of pneumonia. Worse still, the doctor’s revelations reopen old wounds in the family, increasing the likelihood that the real murderer will strike again.
Be sure to catch the rest of the queen of mystery’s stories!

Histoire
Did one of the Cavendish brothers poison their stepmother, Mrs. Iglethorp, or was it her new husband? Nadia May reads with such a delightful English accent, intonation, and careful pacing that the suspense and drama build gradually. Each character is easily distinguishable and a treat to listen to, especially Poirot. This baffling tale with many characters is well worth this listening experience. The compulsion to discover the truth is motive enough for all.

It had been a typical New Year's Eve party. But as midnight approaches, Mr. Satterthwaite - a keen observer of human nature - senses that the real drama of the evening is yet to unfold. And so it proves when a mysterious stranger knocks on the door. Who is this Mr. Quin? Mr. Satterthwaite's new friend is an enigma. He seems to appear and disappear almost like a trick of the light.

can't go wrong with agatha
narration is superb, I don't think I can listen to an Agatha Christie novel now not in Hugh's voice. I have enjoyed other Christie's novels more, but thats not to say these didn't leave me guessing, and invested the whole way.
I appreciate the difference in her story telling approach in both of these. towards zero, telling of a story leading up to the murder itself as opposed to starting with it and unveiling the facts afterwards and the psychological side of the affect of an unsolved murder in the ordeal of innocence. makes you see that Agatha is very clever in knowing human nature's to make her novels so enthralling
