Soon to be a Prime original limited series!

In the classic mystery by Queen of Mystery Agatha Christie, an elderly priest is murdered, quite possibly doomed by a woman’s deathbed confession and by the secrets kept safely locked behind closed doors of a mysterious local pub. When an elderly priest is murdered, the killer searches the victim so roughly that his already ragged cassock is torn in the process.

What was the killer looking for? And what had a dying woman confided to the priest on her deathbed only hours earlier?

Mark Easterbrook and his sidekick Ginger Corrigan are determined to find out. Maybe the three women who run The Pale Horse public house, and who are rumored to practice the “Dark Arts,” can provide some answers?

The ending shocked me. For anyone who is wondering, it isn’t actually witchcraft that is killing people off. I hope that isn’t too much of a spoiler, but if you are familiar with any of Christie’s other books you could probably surmise that on your own. Brilliant. I loved it.

Crazy!

Very well narrated version of a classic Christie mystery with the typical misdirection and subtle clues. An enjoyable detective story.

Faithful Rendition of a Classic Christie

Agatha Christie was a veritable Genius. Completely in a class of her own! This story has so many smooth twists and turns and keeps you guessing right up to the very end when she ties the whole thing together with a satin ribbon. I read/listen to a lot of different Mysteries by many Authors. Although I enjoy them and they're very good
they don't come close to her. Each of her Books are completely different and How Many she has written is amazing. She was Amazing! Loved it.

Intriguing

The overall story seemed to drag a bit more than most of Agatha Christie's work. However, the ending was still a surprise. The performance was excellent, as usual.

A bit slow, but great surprise ending!

The story draws you in immediately and the sound of Hugh Fraser's voice and his skill with delivery transports you into this tale like a visitor on holiday, eavesdropping on the locals. I loved every moment and didn't want to "go home".

Entertaining to the ear and imagination!
