A unique Christie classic is given its due thanks to the engaging talents of veteran radio actor Jones. Broadly recommended and a must-listen for fans of Christie, detective fiction, English manor house mysteries, and Jones’s earlier audio work.
McKenzie is perfect as the seemingly ageless crime solver with the perfect manners. Recommended for public libraries where British mysteries are popular.
This is standard Christie fare—well almost. Given the novella format, the plot moves at a fast pace, which does not allow Christie to develop her characters as fully as in her novels. Nonetheless, die-hard Christie aficionados will be curious about this long-lost piece. Those readers who feel cheated by the skimpy character development will benefit by reading the full novel after they finish the novella.
Not only a contribution to biographical studies of Christie, this book is recommended for all mystery lovers, Anglophiles, and fans of historical travel narratives.
