A new Agatha Christie thriller, described by her as “one of my best.”

The Leonides were one big happy family living in a sprawling, ramshackle mansion. That was until the head of the household, Aristide, was murdered with a fatal barbiturate injection.

Suspicion naturally falls on the old man’s young widow, fifty years his junior. But the murderer has reckoned without the tenacity of Charles Hayward, fiance of the late millionare’s granddaughter…

This was probably one of the more disturbing of Christie's mysteries. It deals with the darker side of family love. It would have been nice if it had one of the popular sleuths Poirot or Marple because this Charles fellow is really wet.

Hugh Fraser is lovely to listen to as always.
