A murder trial takes a diabolical turn when the wife of the accused takes the stand.... A woman's sixth sense - and a loaded revolver - signal premonitions of doom.... A stranded motorist seeks refuge in a remote mansion and is greeted with a dire warning.... Detective Hercule Poirot faces his greatest challenge when his services are enlisted - by the victim - in a bizarre locked-room murder.

From the stunning title story (which inspired the classic film thriller) to the rarest gems in detective fiction, these eleven tales of baffling crime and brilliant deduction showcase Agatha Christie at her dazzling best.

This is a collection of shadow stories that Christie wrote before she wrote her classics. They are the pre stories from which the great stories came. Not bad
Great to hear Hugh Fraser, smooth voice, LOVE

Hearing Christopher Lee narrate the first handful of stories was fascinating! It almost felt like listening to the work of a different author. I hung on to every word.

I love Hugh Fraser. But Lee brings an entirely different experience. Whereas Fraser is masterful, gifted, and indispensable - Christopher Lee elevates his narrations to an art. He has a knack for isolating and emphasizing a particular word or phrase to let it hang just momentarily, and viscerally, harrowing in the air. "Agatha Christie" becomes much darker, more chilling, more unfathomable in his hands.

Where Fraser has an astounding breadth of work under his belt, all with unfaltering masterful delivery, Christopher Lee mines each word tactilely, presenting each as a hefty, extracted gem, from somewhere dark and sinister, and cold. Thrilling, and fascinating!

There are many times when Christie's plot twists come off as too outlandish and unrealistic. Fraser brings dignity to these moments by salving over them smoothly. But Christopher Lee delves into these seemingly ridiculous plot twists with all of his resources, meeting them headlong, and seems to find in them and draw out something genuinely uncanny; mysterious.

In hearing Lee narrate, it almost feels like hearing, fleshed out, the author's own particular fascinations, which she felt compelled to set up and explore within her vast and varied contrivances.

Christopher Lee is bewitching!! Breathtaking!
