About this listen

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

Suspicion naturally falls on the old man's young widow, 50 years his junior. But the murderer has reckoned without the tenacity of Charles Hayward, fiancé of the late millionaire's granddaughter.

Mystery that keeps you guessing

I thought this was great. I love listening while reading along and this just kept me wondering and was glad to have eventually guessed the right one right before the reveal. 10/10 - recommend

Perfect

This story is a perfect murder mystery. Everyone is a suspect right up until the very end, and the road to finding out the murderers identity is riveting.

Agatha Chrisie does it again

Excellent for anyone interested in psychology

Agatha Christie’s genius has always lain in her singular understanding of human nature, and this is a prime example. This book is less about situational facts and more about emotions and motives. I suspected quite literally everyone, so I can’t say it was a SURPRISE at the end—but up until the moment of the reveal, it really could’ve been anyone. I really liked the choice of Charles Hayward as a narrator! Hugh Fraser is, as always, second to none.

Great twisted...dare I say, Crooked book

I really loved it. Hugh Fraser is a great narrator. Although I cheated and read who the killer was, it was still very interesting to see how it played out. I'm an Agatha fan for life!
