Summary

The latest in this classic unabridged Agatha Christie audio collection, read by Hugh Fraser.

It’s Christmas Eve. The Lee family reunion is shattered by a deafening crash of furniture, followed by a high-pitched wailing scream. Upstairs, the tyrannical Simeon Lee lies dead in a pool of blood, his throat slashed.

But when Hercule Poirot, who is staying in the village with a friend for Christmas, offers to assist, he finds an atmosphere not of mourning but of mutual suspicion. It seems everyone had their own reason to hate the old man…

Well read as usual by Hugh Fraser but u find the plot of this one just a little too full of far-fetched plot twists. Good fun over Christmas though!

Rather far fetched

Each part is written about one day over the Christmas period. I ended up listening to them on the days subscribed and it was a lovely way to listen.
The story is clever with brilliant characters and Hugh Fraser creates each one with care and dexterity! Excellent!

A classic for Christmas.
