Summary

Agatha Christie’s ingenious murder mystery, now a sensational two-part thriller broadcast over Christmas on BBC One.Starring David Jonsson as Fitzwilliam, alongside Morfydd Clark as Bridget; Penelope Wilton as Miss Pinkerton, Tom Riley as Lord Whitfield, Douglas Henshall as Major Horton, Mathew Baynton as Dr Thomas, Mark Bonnar as Reverend Humbleby and Tamzin Outhwaite as Mrs Pierce.

In a quiet English village, a killer is about to strike. Again and again.

Luke Fitzwilliam found it hard to credit Miss Pinkerton’s wild allegation that a multiple murderer was at work in the quiet English village of Wychwood – or her speculation that the local doctor was next in line.

But within hours, Miss Pinkerton had been found dead. Crushed by a passing car. Mere coincidence? Luke was inclined to think so – until another victim is found dead.

Critic reviews

‘Suspense, mystery, romance and an agreeable touch of the macabre.’
Guardian

‘Contains some clever plotting and enough casting of suspicion to keep you guessing like mad.'
Books

'One of Agatha Christie's best mystery novels, a story fascinating in its plot, clever and lively in its characters and brilliant in its technique.'
New York Times

Kept me guessing

This story kept me guessing right until the end.
The performance was great, a recent audio book was so bad, it had quite put me off! So, this one was a blessed relief.
We are in COVID lockdown and decorating, this book was the perfect thing to keep my brain occupied whilst stripping wallpaper and trapped inside.

Outstanding performance

Outstanding, like a full cast of characters, beautifully delivered, Gemma, please release more Agatha Christie’s! We absolutely love your performance. Each character is so different, not overdone ... just right.
Agatha would have loved this I’m sure- superb.
