About this listen
The Gentleman Dressed in Newspaper is a short story written by Agatha Christie which was first published in The Sketch in October 1924.
During a lull in business, Tommy and Tuppence amuse themselves by perusing the paper's personal columns. One cryptic ad reads, "Three hearts … 12 tricks … Ace of Spades … finesse the King." Tommy is certain it is a secret message indicating a crime about to be committed.

Story
In The Clergyman's Daughter, the picturesque calm of village life hides secrets that most wouldn't dare to uncover. A simple question turns Tommy and Tuppence's world upside down, leading them to a labyrinth of hidden motives and unsettling truths. What does the daughter of a village clergyman know, and why does every answer seem to raise even more questions? As whispers of deception emerge, the Beresfords must tread lightly in a place where appearances mask unexpected dangers. Sometimes, beneath the quiet charm of the countryside lies a mystery too dark to leave untouched.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Some secrets can only be kept by the dead. When Dr. Rosen, a man with enemies in dark places, is found dead at the bottom of his staircase, everyone suspects foul play. Four people were close enough to know his fears—and perhaps, his fate. Each carries their own scars, secrets, and strange alibis. As suspicion falls on them, Miss Marple enters a maze of mistrust and hidden motives, where shadows of a past life reveal a chilling truth. The Four Suspects spins a deadly game of who, if anyone, can truly be trusted, and what treacheries linger in the hearts of even the innocent.

Love Agatha Christie Stories but can not recommend
I have read, reread, and listened to just about all things by Agatha Christie. I was surprised to find this version of a story I know, so I bought it. The voice sounds like AI to me. Perhaps it was originally in another language? I have no idea, but the English male voice telling this story does not sound like a "live" person. Didn't enjoy this version at all.
