When civilian life proves too dull for Major Wilbrahams, he contacts Parker Pyne to escape his boredom. Pyne's assistant arranges a chance meeting with the beautiful Freda Clegg and the two join forces, but on leaving for Africa they encounter more than they had bargained for.

I very much enjoyed listening to this short story.

I liked the narrator’s voice and his reading.

Although the story had none of Christie’s clever red herrings or other unexpected plot twists, she quickly developed like-able characters, characters you wanted to be predictably and satisfyingly interacting in the storyline.

Enjoyable listen!
