About this listen
A striking novel of truth and soul-searching.
Returning from a visit to her daughter in Iraq, Joan Scudamore finds herself unexpectedly alone and stranded in an isolated rest house by flooding of the railway tracks.
Looking back over the years, Joan painfully re-examines her attitudes, relationships and actions and becomes increasingly uneasy about the person who is revealed to her…
Famous for her ingenious crime books and plays, Agatha Christie also wrote about crimes of the heart, six bittersweet and very personal novels, as compelling and memorable as the best of her work.

My favourite book of all of Christie's books
As soon as I heard the first words in the sample I knew I would love this book. The voice and the manner of Jackie Crago suits this book perfectly. That is exactly how I imagined Joan Scudamore to sound. I knew the story, I'd read this book before and Iloved it.

Life from an emotional abuser's viewpoint
Not sure if Joan is a narcissistic manipulator or delusional and manipulative.
The "perfect book" (sarcasm intended) when you what to view life from an emotional abuser's viewpoint and listen to lies she tells herself.
I wished that Christie could have gifted us with a different outcome..... can't add more without adding spoilers.
