About this listen

There’s a serial killer on the loose, bent on working his way through the alphabet. And as a macabre calling card he leaves beside each victim’s corpe the ABC Railway Guide open at the name of the town where the murder has taken place.

Having begun with Andover, Bexhill and then Churston, there seems little chance of the murderer being caught – until he makes the crucial and vain mistake of challenging Hercule Poirot to frustrate his plans…

Classic Christie

Classic Christie, very well read. Some of the old fashioned ideas and language will make your toes curl, but an enjoyable listen nonetheless.

Very Neat

As always, Agatha Christie keeps you wondering into HP reveals all. Different angle from the usual whodunnit. Well worth reading.

Fantastic!

One of Christie's best novels. A fantastic take on the serial killer style and narrated wonderfully by Hugh Fraser. Fraser manages to maintain Hastings persona with still embodying the Belgian detective we all know and love. A thoroughly enjoyable book!
