About this listen

A dinner party thrown by theatre actor Sir Charles Cartwright at his home in Cornwall ends in tragedy…

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…

Critic Reviews

"Makes uncommonly good reading." (New York Times)

What a superb narrator Hugh Fraser is! Christie’s stories fairly crackle along under his watchful eye. First class entertainment….. with every word to be savoured.

Five star Christie.
