About this listen

A flawless collection of short stories that Christie herself referred to as ‘light-hearted thrillers’.

Twelve ingenious, witty mysteries showing the author at her best, including: the curious disappearance of Lord Listerdale, the strange meeting on a train of a feckless man and a beautiful girl, Philomel Cottage and the extraordinary country house visit of Edward Robinson. Each four-story volume is expertly narrated by Hugh Fraser.

This is a nice little collection for Christie fans not featuring her usual dectectives. Some of the stories are a little 'samey" and I wouldn't call them her greatest works but they are a nice listen if you like the genre..well narrated and definitely worth a credit!

Great Little Christie Anthology

Whilst High Fraser's contribution cannot be faulted, the stories are surprisingly poor coming from the acknowledged queen of mystery.

A very mixed bag !

Most of the stories had the usual Christie mystery although one I guessed quite early. Love Hugh Fraser his voice is perfect and he does the ladies so well.

Love Agatha Christie

Really enjoyed this collection of short stories. They have a twist as you would expect from Agatha Christie. Very relaxing yet amazingly written and read.
Would be good if Audible would make the chapter breaks relate to the stories, but I’ve managed to bookmark them.

First class selection of stories

My only criticism is that with many (but not all) audible recordings the chapters on the app don’t match the chapters in the books. Surely it can’t be that difficult to get it right which would make it much more user friendly.

Entertaining as always
