Product Description

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Agatha Christie's darkly suspenseful psychological thriller.

'Some are born to sweet delight/Some are born to endless night' (William Blake)

Agatha Christie wrote 'Endless Night' in 1967, and it is one of her greatest - and most unusual - novels. Creepy, malevolent and claustrophobic, it is a story about choices, the nature of good and evil, and grim retribution.

Mike Rogers had a childhood fantasy about what life would be like as an adult; he'd have a beautiful wife, they would live in a beautiful home, and this would be a peaceful and deserved reward for a turbulent early life. When he meets Ellie Gutman at a lovely, remote spot known as Gypsy's Acre, suddenly it is all within his grasp. However, things are not as idyllic as they seem - local legend has it that the land is cursed, and several terrible accidents have occurred there.

Mike and Ellie pay no attention to these tales: but when they move into their new home, the curse suddenly seems to come to life and they find themselves in grave danger...

Starring Jonathan Forbes and Lizzie Watts, this is a menacing drama that perfectly evokes the atmosphere of Agatha Christie's brooding, malevolent tale, infused with passion, hauntings and grim retribution.

One of the best 28 July 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have read every Agatha Christie novel, and rank this book as one of the elite 3 or 4 (Along with Ackroyd, Orient Express, 10 Little Indians). The ending of her novels usually make or break them for me, and the ending to this book was unexpected and superior. This is one of the few books that gave me that "spine-chilling" sensation that I wish I experienced during the reading of all mystery novels. Excellent!

I must be very careful with what I say for fear of ruining this book or possibly other Agatha Christie's for you. The reviews that are here have the potential to spoil more than one great mystery of hers. I suggest not reading any of the reviews on this page. Look simply at the average star rating for this book and go off of that.

To give you what you're looking for without comparing this book with others, I found Endless Night to be a fantastic mystery. It is the only Christie that I have read more than once. It's wonderfully creepy, although not a traditional "murder mystery." A few very well placed surprises catch you off your guard and make this one of the most original books she's written. I highly recommend it.

I also recommend that you move on to another web page. You've got to be careful when reading reviews of mysteries. Someone's bound to say too much, which is the case here. I strongly, STRONGLY urge you to read no further in these critiques.

One of Christies best, in my opinion. Held my interest from start to finish, and no, you cannot see the ending coming in the first chapter! Excellent book, and one Christie herself said was the most "evil" book she had written. I went back to reread it immediatly after finishing. Scene in the begining with the gypsy, excellant understated writing.

Easy Read
I've only read this book twice and each time I've enjoyed it. It isn't like alot of her books, where somebody dies and the Police are called in. Read more

Good novel, but audio play is far too abridged
This was a competent dramatisation by BBC Audio. But the narrative has been heavily abridged to the point that it feels rushed in places and there are abrupt jumps in timeline. Read more
