About this listen

Hercule Poirot stood on the cliff-top. For here, many years earlier, there had been a tragic accident – the broken body of a woman was discovered on the rocks at the foot of the cliff.

This was followed by the grisly discovery of two more bodies – a husband and wife – shot dead.

But who had killed whom? Was it a suicide pact? A crime of passion? Or cold-blooded murder?

Poirot delves back into a crime committed 15 years earlier and discovers that, when there is a distinct lack of physical evidence, it’s just as well that ‘old sins leave long shadows’…

Another classic - just wish they were longer...

I love Hugh Fraser's Mrs Oliver voice - it just makes me smile!! His Poirot is spot on too.

A Hugh Fraser delight.

What an absolute delight Hugh Fraser’s narration is! Nobody does the Dame justice like Mr Fraser. Bravo.

Poirot, Oliver, love young & old, and memories

"You can't stop people being what they are." The premis for much of Christie's work. This is an okay working of the bad person v ill person, with Fraser's always engaging narration. His efforts at women's voices make me grin but I end up thinking that's how they would have sounded to the Grand Dame. She continues to throw out tiny tidbits of herself through Ariadne Oliver, which I like.
