About this listen

Nick Buckley was an unusual name for a pretty young woman. But then she had led an unusual life. First, on a treacherous Cornish hillside, the brakes on her car failed. Then, on a coastal path, a falling boulder missed her by inches. Later, an oil painting fell and almost crushed her in bed.

Upon discovering a bullet-hole in Nick’s sun hat, Hercule Poirot decides the girl needs his protection. At the same time, he begins to unravel the mystery of a murder that hasn’t been committed. Yet.

Critic reviews

"The actual solution is quite unusually ingenious." (Times Literary Supplement)
All stars
Most relevant  
A more-complex-than-usual story, as Poirot works out whodunnit. But the logic of the “little grey cells” never drags!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Highly recommended! Another Agatha Christie classic with so many twists and turns that even Poirot's baffled! The David Suchet TV adaptation of this book follows the Christie book closely, unlike some others, so if you are a fan of the TV programmes you will love this audiobook! An must for every Christie fan!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hastings as always is my favourite character. The perfect sidekick to Poirot. Made even better when the audiobook is read by Hugh Fraser!

Have you listened to any of Hugh Fraser’s other performances? How does this one compare?

As always a great performance by Hugh Fraser, he seems to understand Agatha Christie and particularly Poirot so well. This is definitely up there with his best, although "The Big Four" is my personal favourite.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I tend not to listen to any audiobook in one session, so no it wasn't.

Another Christie Classic!

Classic satisfying Agatha Christie, Poirot wrong-footed but perspicacious, Hastings baffled but lovely. A dark undercurrent of jealousy, loss, and addiction. A new favourite Christie story.

Another brilliant performance by Hugh Fraser. He has an amazing range of characterisations. I would find it hard to listen to an Agatha Christie novel unless he was the narrator

One of the best Poirot stories, the end comes s a total surprise. Hugh Fraser reads the story exquisitely and none of the characterisations are boring.

Great Story
