Publisher's summary

A quiet English village is plagued by a fiendish serial killer in Queen of Mystery Agatha Christie's classic thriller, Murder is Easy.

Luke Fitzwilliam does not believe Miss Pinkerton's wild allegation that a multiple murderer is at work in the quiet English village of Wychwood and that her local doctor is next in line.

But within hours, Miss Pinkerton has been killed in a hit-and-run car accident. Mere coincidence? Luke is inclined to think so - until he reads in the Times of the unexpected demise of Wychwood's Dr. Humbleby....

Good Christie story, good narration by Whelan

An enjoyable Christie story. This is supposedly a Superintendent Battle story, but he doesn't come in to it until the end. Gemma Whelan does a good job with the narration.

great Agatha Christie story

Interesting, engaging, clever, well-narrated Agatha Christie story. Not the usual protagonists, either. I recommend it highly!

Thoroughly enjoyed!

This is my first Agatha Christie that's not a Poirot/Marple and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! Recommended for anyone looking for a crime solver with good, clean fun.

reread

I'd read this before, but I thoroughly enjoyed this audio version. Great story to read in fall time. And I love Superintendent Battle.

Excellent period piece

I enjoyed the sense of the English countryside in the time between the Wars. No one can make you feel the time and space like Agatha Christy.

good story not a great narrator

this narrator didn't do anything terrible, she just wasn't very good. she sounded wooden and spoke very slowly. the story was typical Agatha Christie though without either of her two main protagonists whom I missed.
