About this listen

Whilst organising a mock murder hunt for the village fete hosted by Sir George and Lady Stubbs, a feeling of dread settles on the famous crime novelist Adriane Oliver. Call it instinct, but it's a feeling she just can't explain...or get away from.

In desperation she summons her old friend, Hercule Poirot - and her instincts are soon proved correct when the "pretend" murder victim is discovered playing the scene for real, a rope wrapped tightly around her neck.

But it's the great detective who first discovers that in murder hunts, whether mock or real, everyone is playing a part.

Good mystery, ruined

I've read this book in the past, so I know it is a solid Agatha Christie mystery. Unfortunately I wouldn't know that from this recording. David Suchet though an excellent actor and otherwise credible voice actor has taken the direction in the text too literally. It does the listening audience no good at all when the voice actor whispers half the dialogue. We do need to actually hear the words. Half the characters are described as whispering or softly spoken. Story ruined. I will be returning this.
