About this listen

The Argyle family is far from pleased to discover one of its number has been post-humously pardoned for murder – if Jacko Argyle didn’t kill his mother, who did? The front door of the family home was locked…

According to the courts, Jacko Argyle bludgeoned his mother to death with a poker. The sentence was life imprisonment

But when Dr Arthur Calgary turns up a year later with the proof that confirms Jacko’s innocence, he is too late – Jacko died behind bars from a bout of pneumonia.

Worse still, the doctor’s revelations re-open old wounds in the family, increasing the likelihood that the real murderer will strike again…

Another glorious performance by Hugh Fraser. The original is so much better than the television adaptation using Miss Marple. Really enjoyed it.

Twists and turns - A great read.

I'm a big Agatha Christie fan, but this wasn't my favourite story. It was a very interesting look at human psychology though. A different approach to a murder mystery. I'm glad I read it. I always enjoy High Fraser's narration.

Love High Fraser narrating!

Exceptional narration by Hugh Fraser, he has a truely brilliant voice.
This novel was a fun listen and it's always enjoyable seeing someone other than the detectives solving the case. I do think the culprit was easy to spot, especially in the last half but that was mostly due to the fact everyone else seems so guilty, and as the killers never who the story points to, it only leaves one person left.

The innocent always seem the most guilty.
