About this listen
Another title in the ever popular Agatha Christie series.
The suave and debonair Colonel Race must solve a question, not of ‘accidental death or suicide’, but ‘murder or double murder’.
Pretty, young Anne came to London looking for adventure. In fact, adventure comes looking for her – and finds her immediately at Hyde Park Corner tube station. Anne is present on the platform when a thin man, reeking of mothballs, loses his balance and is electocuted on the rails.
The Scotland Yard verdict is accidental death. But Anne is not satisfied.
After all, who was the man in the brown suit who examined the body? And why did he race off, leaving a cryptic message behind: ‘17-122 Kilmorden Castle’?

Implausible but fun story
The characters were well described, plot full of familiar devices but still entertaining.
I normally like Emilia Fox as a narrator, but this time her reading of the male character was too shouty and harsh, quite hard to listen to.

Would be better with a different narrator
Unfortunately the narration of the male voices really lets this story down. Get Dan Stevens to do it next time- he’s great reading Agatha Christie

A somewhat different Christie book
I was rather surprised by the mixture of romance, humour and thriller in this Agatha Christie book. I think it works well.

I loved the mix of romance and mystery in this story.
Which character – as performed by Emilia Fox – was your favourite?
I liked the main character, Anne Beddingfield. I thought Emilia Fox did an excellent job portraying this passionate young adventurer.
