About this listen
A blizzard has hit England. In the tiny village of Sittaford, on the fringes of Dartmoor, a party of six is gathered in Sittaford House, home of Captain Trevelyan. He has rented the house out for the winter and is staying in a nearby village.
As evening draws in, a seance is proposed. But it reveals more than they had anticipated - TREVELYAN DEAD, spells out the board. Slowly the table begins to rock again, spelling out the word M-U-R-D-E-R. Is it true? And who would kill a man who doesn’t have an enemy in the world?
John Moffatt and Stephen Tompkinson star in a BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of a classic from the Queen of Crime.

Good Christie, but not Poirot
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, if they like Agatha Christie!
What did you like best about this story?
Cosy murder mystery.
Any additional comments?
I've been seeking out all the Hercule Poirot stories that feature John Moffat as I just love his Poirot. But in this dramatisation he plays a minor character and there's no Poirot! Should have read the blurb more carefully. Still a good story, though, if you like Agatha Christie :)

Excellent, classic Christie
Great masterpiece of misdirection. Atmospherically-staged; believe me, you will definitely feel the cold and wind!

Great for a winter's evening
The usual Agatha Chrisite - easy to listen to, excellent characters - just right! The BBC radio collection are well worth space on the shelf.

Marvellous Christie Yarn
One of her best stories that is an exciting whodunit and reflects social history of 1930's .

IT’s Christie and Moffat at Their Best
Like all of Christie’s work, no matter how many times you hear this it remains just as fresh and enjoyable. A great full cast with no Poirot nor Marple but still a good yarn.

Spooky and atmospheric, outstanding performances.
Excellent production of this story. The parts are played so well, and easily discernible from each other. One of those Christies stories that twists and turns and really gathers speed towards the end.
I really loved to sound effects, fire crackling, snowy sounds and crunching of feet in snow. Really creates a warm cosy feel or icy depending on scene. Music is used occasionally to add to the mood and atmosphere.
Parts are actually really scary! But then I don't want to spoil the story...
Loved it! Perfect for dog walking and ironing!

Pure Agatha Christie
Brilliant performance from all actors. The story is superbly brought to life in this adaptation. One of my Christie's favourites.

Decent story
It's decent story, but the attempt at regional accents (Devonian) is dire at times - makes it very off-putting. The story is fairly simple, but with enough twists and turns to stay interesting.
