Publisher's Summary
Adapted from the play by Charles Osborne.
Sir Claud Amory has discovered the formula for a new powerful explosive, which is stolen by one of the large household of relatives and friends.
Locking everyone in the library, Sir Claud switches off the lights to allow the thief to replace the formula on the table, no questions asked.
When the lights come on, however, he is dead, and Hercule Poirot – with assistance from Hastings and Inspector Japp – has to unravel a tangle of family feuds, old flames and suspicious foreigners to find the killer and prevent a global catastrophe.
Critic Reviews
"Christie biographer Osborne's adaptation of the grande dame's 1930 play has been blessed by the Christie estate and heartily endorsed by her grandson Michael Prichard. It's a classic 'someone in this room is the murderer' tale set in 1934." (Publishers Weekly)

classic Agatha
Classic Agatha Christie. This is what I want to hear if I'm listening to an Agatha Christie story I ,something containing all the traditional ,if predictable tropes related to that author. I think the adapted plays fit this style the best. If only it wasn't so short

Wonderful Christie writer - S. Hannah be blowed!
Why didn't Agatha Christie's evil money-hungry grandson hire a writer like Charles Osborne to write new Christie books, instead of selling his grandmother's soul to the devil (like he is doing left, right, front and center)?

Not the version of black coffee I originally purchased
I cannot say how infuriating it is to purchase one version of a book only to have audible substitute a different version for it on my cloud library.
