About this listen

An unabridged Agatha Christie mystery, featuring the young adventurers Lady ‘Frankie’ Derwent and Bobby Jones.

While playing an erratic round of golf, Bobby Jones slices his ball over the edge of a cliff. His ball is lost, but on the rocks below he finds the crumpled body of a dying man. With his final breath the man opens his eyes and says, ‘Why didn’t they ask Evans?’

Haunted by these words, Bobby and his vivacious companion, Frankie, set out to solve a mystery that will bring them into mortal danger…

Have read this Agatha Christie before and find it her most interesting one. It's a fun story along with the sleuthing. Beautifully read by Emily Fox.
All round an enjoyable few hours.

Love the story.

I found the narrator's voicing of various characters a bit twee. And irritating. And the dialogue was again simplistic.

Story line was fine although the final outcome was obvious

Not the best of Agatha
