description: A popular Christie mystery now available on CD. A Complete and Unabridged recording read by Hugh Fraser.

Having begun with Andover, Bexhill and then Churston, there seems little chance of the murderer being caught -- until he makes the crucial and vain mistake of challenging Hercule Poirot to frustrate his plans...
