Product Description

Review

‘Throws off the false clues and misleading events as only a master of the art can do.’ New York Times

'Liveliness… infectious zest… as good as anything Miss Christie has done.' Observer

Product Description

Volume 65 in the Agatha Christie Collection (1964)
Limited edition of 1000 copies worldwide

As Miss Marple sat basking in the Caribbean sunshine she felt mildly discontented with life. True, the warmth eased her rheumatism, but here in paradise nothing ever happened.

Eventually, her interest was aroused by an old soldier’s yarn about a strange coincidence. Infuriatingly, just as he was about to show her an astonishing photograph, the Major’s attention wandered. He never did finished the story…

5.0 out of 5 stars Joan does it again!, 5 Dec 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: A Caribbean Mystery: Complete & Unabridged (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?

5.0 out of 5 stars All I expected and more !!!!, 20 Jan 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: A Caribbean Mystery (The Christie Collection) (Paperback)

The way Agatha Christie throws in each clue one by one. All the clues seem to fit together nicely to make one big idea, but then you get to the end, everything you thought is completely overturned with a new idea, that new idea "solving" all the clues that were dropped in the book. Highly recomended !!!

Clearly enunciated in plain English. Well narrated and very relaxing to listen to. Audio quality good. Definite eyesight saving book at bedtime
