Format:Audio CD
I highly recommend this lively version of one of AC's most atmospheric novels, read by the incomparable Joan Hickson. Her Carribbean accent may not convince all listeners (!) but JH gives the story a lovely period feel, which will remind many of her TV performances. Tropical sunshine, pearly beaches and chilling murder - what more could you ask for?

This is a gripping book.The classic Agatha twist at the end is superb, and the way miss Marple solves it is lovely.In a beach resort,a man who nearly shows MissMarple the photograph of an uncaught murderer is killed,and the photo is gone.It's upto miss Marple to find out who the killer was.

No Mystery !!!
Clearly enunciated in plain English. Well narrated and very relaxing to listen to. Audio quality good. Definite eyesight saving book at bedtime

Slow but thoughtful
This book is not one of Christie's best, so if you are a beginning reader of Agatha, then don't pick this one. Read more

Pretty slow pace, but good
This is a good Agatha Christie, but it has a terribly slow pace. If this is your first time reading her work, don't read this book. Read more

MEDIOCRE
If this is your first Christie buy, don't do it. This is a story with a potential interest level but a mediocre turn-out. Read more

Don't make this your first foray into Agatha Christie
