She gets more thrills than she bargained for when she finds herself embroiled in a crooked diamond scheme, a murder, and in the clutches of the mysterious “Colonel". Written by the best-selling fiction writer of all time (according to Guinness), Agatha Christie.

did not like the voices. Just too exaggerated in accent and gender. Better to have more narrators. Great story from Christie!!

Great story, but someone dropped the ball on the language. Incredibly jarring to hear the k-word (equivalent to the n-word) used over and over to describe black South Africans. This kind of language is typically edited out of Christie stories. I'm pretty disappointed.

Someone should have looked up the k-word. yikes.
