But, within hours, Miss Pinkerton had been killed in a hit-and-run car accident. Mere coincidence? Luke was inclined to think so, until he read in The Times of the unexpected demise of Dr Humbleby.

Thirteen guests arrived at dinner at the actor's house. It was to be a particularly unlucky evening for the mild-mannered Reverend Stephen Babbington, who choked on his cocktail, went into convulsions and died. But when his martini glass was sent for chemical analysis, there was no trace of poison, just as Poirot had predicted. Even more troubling for the great detective, there was absolutely no motive.

Story
To understand the strange goings on at The Pale Horse Inn, Mark Easterbrook knew he had to begin at the beginning. But where exactly was the beginning? Was it the savage blow to the back of Father Gorman's head? Or was it when the priest's assailant searched him so roughly he tore the clergyman's cassock? Or could it have been the priest's visit, just minutes before, to a woman on her death bed? Or was there a deeper significance to the violent squabble that Mark Easterbrook had himself witnessed earlier?

Hercule Poirot stood on the cliff-top. For here, many years earlier, there had been a tragic accident: the broken body of a woman was discovered on the rocks at the foot of the cliff. This was followed by the grisly discovery of two more bodies, a husband and wife, shot dead. But who had killed whom? Was it a suicide pact? A crime of passion? Or cold-blooded murder?

Entertaining yarn
This is definitely not one of her best plot lines. It is very much a dubious and implausible spy story.
But Hugh Fraser is a great narrator and its well worth listening to.

Lively tale, excellently read
This is one of the 'Partners in Crime' stories involving a sleuthing couple formerly employed by the British Secret Service during the First World War and here re-recruited to help flush out a Fifth Column conspiracy during the Second World War. It's an engaging story with twists and turns and a surprising denouement. As usual, Hugh Fraser does sterling service as the reader cleverly changing the pitch and accent of his voice to convince as young or old, male or female, Irish, English or German. Thoroughly enjoyable

Really enjoyed this story
I laughed out loud in places, though probably at things that Agatha Christie did not intend to be comical ... my favourite character was Betty (naturally) and I thought that Hugh Fraser was a perfect narrator ... no doubt I shall listen to this again ...

Hugh Fraser's narration really makes it!
I enjoyed the story - had guessed one of the two villains in advance but the other one fooled me. The Tommy & Tuppance stories are new to me and I was initially surprised at the time gap between books two and three, but actually the premise of them feeling too old to be useful in WWII and seeking excitement again worked really well.
The icing on the cake was the narration. Hugh Fraser's range in this, from babbling toddler to the breathless monologue of a nervous eye-witness, is incredible. I always enjoy listening to his voice but thought this one was particularly well acted.

Another Christie classic
I’m a huge fan of Agatha Christie and have only recently discovered the Tommy and Tuppence series. I think this is book 2 or 3 and I have listened to the others. N or M? was another great mystery with a bit of suspense . What makes it though is the wonderful reading by Hugh Fraser. He does the voices of the characters perfectly and is incredibly soothing. Well worth every penny.

Old friend revisited
I read N or M? when I was at school but haven’t really bothered about Agatha Christie since - '68 rather changed cultural focus. While my parents and grandparents who lived through the 14-18 and 39-45 wars were still alive, those conflicts almost seemed like events I half-remembered, at least till the world became, like TV, in full colour rather than black and white, with ‘68 and university.
Hugh Fraser performs Christie very well and brings new life to the old tired stories. I certainly wouldn’t read them again- so many books I want to read before I die! - but listening is another matter. Like a child I like familiar predictable (not the villain, the format!) tales at bedtime.
For once Christie seems to take a war seriously in this book, although in later novels it goes back to being some sort of good clean fun, like shooting lots of big game and despising anyone who isn’t English, and even most of her compatriots.
I like Tuppence, who isn’t wet like most of Christie’s women, the married or marriageable ones, anyway. I like the repartee between the Beresfords, but found it a bit callous in the first book. A defence mechanism, no doubt, in the aftermath of the Great War, but still jarring - my grandfathers and their peers didn’t think of WWI as even faintly amusing- and there’s not much shallow laughter reconstructing a life in 1918 minus most of one leg if you were from a peasant background.
This book was first published in 1941, set in 1940, when WWII wasn’t going too well - France had fallen and the UK & Commonwealth was alone. Germany and the USSR were still in alliance and Japan hadn’t forced the USA to take part.
As is well known, many powerful or aristocratic people had favoured Hitler before the war (the Daily Mail was a potent influence on the Fascist side till the outbreak of war) and many quietly or not so quietly continued to think he was a really good guy...Had he conquered the UK, he’d certainly have found stout collaborators, in high places, just as in France and elsewhere so there’s no reason to feel superior as nations to those who were under Nazi rule.
The fear of “fifth columnists” was justified, though exaggerated in the popular mind (bearded nuns, clergy - RC of course - anyone with Irish or other ancestry not the “right” sort of Anglo-Saxon!)
Christie manages to be less xenophobic in this novel written in times of extreme national danger than in most of her œuvre. She isn’t nasty about Jews, doesn’t lambast the occupied countries for their lack of true Anglo-Saxon grit, even considers the “lower orders” in the war effort as worthy citizens.
I can well understand that she was investigated briefly by MI5, after calling one of the suspected traitors “Major Bletchley”, shortly after she talks about those working on ciphers and de-coding as inclined to madness. As the book was published first in the USA, it was probably too late to eradicate this “innocent” nomenclature without revealing that “Bletchley” was TOP TOP SECRET! (Was it just a coincidence? Another Christie “enigma”?)
