In a remote house in the middle of Dartmoor, six shadowy figures huddle around a table for a seance. Tension rises as the spirits spell out a chilling message: "Captain Trevelyan... dead... murder."

Is this black magic or simply a macabre joke? The only way to be certain is to locate Captain Trevelyan. Unfortunately, his home is six miles away and, with snowdrifts blocking the roads, someone will have to make the journey on foot....

This title was previously published as The Murder at Hazelmoor.

The Sittaford Mystery, also appearing in some copies as Murder at Hazelmoor, is a fun and entertaining book to listen to on Audible. As with all Christie books, it is a light murder mystery, one that does not dwell on the grotesque, but rather on the mystery surrounding the characters and the clues. The characters are well-written, and Hugh Fraser's outstanding narration helps to immediately identify their personalities. Emily and Charles bring humor to the book. And, ironically, Inspector Narracott's thoughts provide several red herring chases, each of which help drive the plot. This is a well-rounded story. Remember to listen when each character speaks, no matter how minor! Story line is more interesting than the modern movie. Definitely my favorite Christie book!

Mystery, Humor, Solid Characters, and Hugh Fraser!

I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery! Hugh Frasier was perfect in his performance so that I was eager to get a chance to listen to this every day! As much as I love Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, I found this story to be one of my favorite Agatha Christi stories! The characters were interesting and the plot offered lots of fun twists and turns!! Too fun!

Hugh Fraser's performance makes it all the more enjoyable! The story is entertaining, though not one of Christie's best. Still worth a listen

Hugh Fraser

A different group of characters, not overly well developed, and an interesting story. Worth the listen for Christie fans because it isn't a Poirot our Marple story. The ending is somewhat lackluster and the performance struggles a bit on the voices. The main characters are well enough differentiated, but the peripheral ones, not so much.

Good Story

Hugh’s performance is enjoyable and reminiscent of his portrayal of Hastings in Agatha Christie’s Poirot.

Hugh Fraser is superb!
