About this listen

 The new Hercule Poirot mystery by Sophie Hannah, follow-up to the bestselling Hercule Poirot’s Silent Night.

New Year's Eve, 1932.

Hercule Poirot and his good friend Inspector Edward Catchpool arrive on the Greek island of Lamperos for a little holiday…or is it?

Catchpool suspects Poirot has a different reason for being there — one he won't reveal. As the clock ticks towards the New Year and a festive guessing game takes a sinister turn, can Poirot stop a murderer who is determined to strike before midnight?

"A very clever and enjoyable whodunit." —Jake Kerridge, Sunday Telegraph

“Sophie Hannah does it again in this entertaining, page-turning resurrection of the great detective." —Nita Prose

"Fans hoping to beat Poirot to the mind-bogglingly ingenious solution are well-advised to concede the competition in advance." —Kirkus Review

“What Sophie and Agatha have in common is a rare talent for fiendish unpredictability: they make you see how the impossible might be possible after all.”—Sunday Telegraph

Great narrator- but nothing else positive to say. Very poor characterisation, ridiculous plot and very, very boring. I gave up, 3 hours in.
