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 great original collection of short stories published in 1934. Some are exquisite mini murder mysteries, some are quirky accidental adventures & others have eerie undertones that are positively chilling. Obviously, some are better than others, but the variety is refreshing & who knew Agatha Christie invented James Bond! To be fair, pre MI6 James Bond with his nose buried in a self-help book, but Fleming was known to borrow names & characters.

All in all, this is a good selection read brilliantly by Hugh Fraser, who cannot be surpassed. I wish he narrated all Christie's books. Sadly, other narrators have made her other books unlistenable!

Who knew Christie wrote about James Bond 1st?!

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!

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
