About this listen

Nick Buckley was an unusual name for a pretty young woman. But then she had led an unusual life. First, on a treacherous Cornish hillside, the brakes on her car failed. Then, on a coastal path, a falling boulder missed her by inches. Later, an oil painting fell and almost crushed her in bed.

Upon discovering a bullet-hole in Nick’s sun hat, Hercule Poirot decides the girl needs his protection. At the same time, he begins to unravel the mystery of a murder that hasn’t been committed. Yet.

Another great performance of one of Christie’s classics. The depth and breadth of the performance stands out as one of the chief audiobook experiences I’ve had.

Excellently performed

Papa Poirot does it again. Nothing gets by him. The culprit is always someone close yet unassuming. Hugh Fraser does a bang on job of bringing the characters to life. This story is one of my absolute favourites. A confronting concoction of greed and deceit.

COULD NOT HAVE GUESSED IT!

Once again, I failed to guess this one! Another astonishing reveal, I love reading Christie, and what a story! Poirot was insufferable this time, though.

A really suspenseful work.

Hugh Fraser, the actor who played Hastings in the TV series does a very good job narrating. The story is great, I enjoyed listening thoroughly

After guessing the ending to 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd', this one completely threw me for a loop - in a good way. Enjoy!

Fantastic ending
