About this listen

Beautiful Caroline Crale was convicted of poisoning her husband, yet there were five other suspects: Philip Blake (the stockbroker) who went to market; Meredith Blake (the amateur herbalist) who stayed at home; Elsa Greer (the three-time divorcee) who had roast beef; Cecilia Williams (the devoted governess) who had none; and Angela Warren (the disfigured sister) who cried ‘wee wee wee’ all the way home.

It is sixteen years later, but Hercule Poirot just can’t get that nursery rhyme out of his mind…

The story of course is wonderful because anything by Agatha Christie is superb, but I also love Hugh Fraser’s narration

Superbly narrated as always by Hugh Fraser however Audible cuts out quite violently at the end. I do wish they would allow a few seconds respite to let the sentence finish. Annoying and detracts from the solemn ending.

Thinking person's mystery.

Listened to the whole novel essentially over the course of a day, I was enthralled by the story consistently trying to solve the mystery, Agatha Christie really wrote a fantastically cryptic story.

Could not stop listening

I've always enjoyed Poirot stories but this has to be one of my top 3 favourites. I really thought I had solved the thing & fancied myself clever, but of course, Poirot saw more than I and I was wrong! Great story.

Thought I solved it but I didn't. Great story!

Fascinating structure and intricate plot. One of the very best crime novels, masterfully read. A tour de force

Sensational!

All round a great production but right at the end there is an abrupt end, sometimes to do with the editing. It really puts a dampener on it.

Some technical glitches
