About this listen

"Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction." (Tana French, New York Times best-selling author)

From the queen of suspense, an all-new collection of her spookiest and most sinister stories, including an Agatha Christie story never before published in the USA, "The Wife of Kenite"!

For lovers of the supernatural and the macabre comes this collection of ghostly and chilling stories from legendary mystery writer Agatha Christie. Fantastic psychic visions, specters looming in the shadows, encounters with deities, a man who switches bodies with a cat - be sure to keep the light on whilst listening to these tales.

The Last Séance gathers 20 stories, some featuring Christie’s beloved detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, in one haunting compendium that explores all things occult and paranormal, and is an essential omnibus for Christie fans.

Suddenly, we no longer will play!! I don't know why. Perhaps it was free with purchase of Kindle ebook?

Great stories until December 2023

WoW. I thought I read all the Agatha Christie novels & short stories. What a great find. Perfect for Halloween… & a glimpse into the Spiritism practices of the time. Vintage Agatha Christie…. Thoroughly enjoyed these tales of mysticism, spiritualism, seances, & unquiet spirits.

Occult Agatha Christie!!!

I enjoyed Fenella’s many voices. The last story was a little farther out than I expected!

What a great audiobook! The stories in this collection are varied -- some are spooky (a new side of Christie, for me), while others have fun with people using spiritualism for dastardly ends. The narrator is PERFECT. She has a gentle, intelligent delivery that's a pleasure to listen to,, and she brings every character vividly to life; I even love her Poirot. You get a lot of stories for your money here -- tragic, mysterious, and light-hearted -- and they’re all enjoyable.

Delicious Agatha Christie buffet

It is common knowledge that Agatha Christie was a proponent of the occult and the supernatural and that has always given her books and short stories a flair toward unexpected and often unbelievable endings. If you are a logical-minded person, it usually means that these types of stories are just beyond your ability to work out or even believe the ending she leads you to. However, there are a few tales in this collection that feature her master sleuths, Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot, where they, through the application of their Sherlockian logic or, as Poirot would say, "the exercise of the little gray cells", they arrive at a totally natural solution to what others had ascribed to the supernatural. Most of the tales in this book are short, but all are engaging, intriguing, and entertaining. I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I did.

An Excellent Collection of Short Stories of Horror

Agatha Christie known as the queen of mystery, could also be the Queen of the Supernatural when she wanted to be. This audiobook was full of weird and supernatural stories. It also had Poirot and Miss Marple her great detectives in a few of the stories. Great and interesting stories, a great listen to.

The Queen of the weird

Overall, this is a good collection of Agatha Christie stories, some new and some I'd heard or read before. But I have been spoiled with full cast performances or narration by Hugh Frasier, so it wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been. But at least the stories weren't 'updated' like some collections have been.

Not bad

What’s not to like!? It’s classic Agatha Christie. Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot show up in a few. The book is a collection of 20 short stories from the “Queen of Crime”. The Audible narrator is superb for this collection.

A Great Time!
