Publisher's summary

A new Agatha Christie thriller, featuring the return of Superintendent Battle.

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

Officer Luke Fitzwilliam is on a train to London when he meets a strange woman. She claims there is a serial killer in the quiet village of Wychwood. He has already taken the lives of three people and is about claim his fourth victim.

Fitzwilliam dismisses this as the rambling of an old woman. But within hours she is found dead. Crushed by a passing car.

And then the fourth victim is found.

Each death looks like an accident.
But in Wychwood nothing is as it appears…

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)

Hugh Fraser, always a pleasure

Another book that I am sure I will listen to over and over again. Luke Fitzwilliam is no Poirot or Marple but the story is enjoyable all the same.

Hugh Fraser is for me the best narrator of Christie stories. I hope to have every one in my collection over time.

Good enough

Good enough if you’re suffering Agatha withdrawals but not up to her usual standard. Bit of a goofy love story and seemed to implode plot wise towards the end. For the first time with Agatha I skipped to the next chapter.
