About this listen

Mystery and suspense surround a seance in a snowbound house on the edge of Dartmoor, where the prediction of a grisly murder is only the precursor to an ingenious deadly crime and one of Agatha Christie’s most gripping thrillers…

In a remote house in the middle of Dartmoor, six shadowy figures huddle around a small 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 snow drifts blocking the roads, someone will have to make the journey on foot…

Great easy listen

I can't say there were any particular momentous moments but there also weren't any dull bits. The narration was spot on and the variety of voices splendid. All in all I would highly recommend this story. Would be a great addition to take on holiday.

Classic Agatha Christie at her best

An intriguing tale, beautifully read. Amazing characterisation and a real sting in the tail. What more could you ask?

Brilliant

An Agatha Christie crime novel without Poirot, Miss Marple, or Tommy and Tuppence, yet it still delivered the murderer plus motive at the end. Brilliant story from the Queen of Crime.
