Product Description
A charity murder game at a Devon house turns into the real thing! Sir George and Lady Stubbs, the hosts of a village fete, hit upon the novel idea of staging a mock murder mystery. In good faith, Ariadne Oliver, the well known crime writer, agrees to organise their murder hunt. Despite weeks of meticulous planning, at the last minute Ariadne calls her friend Hercule Poirot for his expert assistance. Instinctively, she senses that something sinister is about to happen! Beware -- nobody is quite what they seem!

Practically perfect,

This review is from: Dead Man's Folly (BBC Audio Crime) (Audio CD)
This is one of the gems of the BBC radio adaptations of Christie novels (at least, of those I've heard so far). John Moffat continues to impress as Hercule Poirot and here he is joined by Julia McKenzie's sparkling and very amusing Ariadne Oliver. I was completely enthralled by this production. I felt all the vocal cast were very good - Sir George perhaps sounds a little old and I found Hattie's voice a little strange at first but then she is a strange and also foreign young girl! Rosalind Knight is very good in the important role of Mrs Folliat. Highly recommended!

Hercule does it again,
By Elizabeth-Anne (Mid Glamorgan S. Wales) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dead Man's Folly (BBC Audio Crime) (Audio CD)
Excellent adaptation of the Queen of Crime's book. David Suchet is my personal favourite Poirot, but John Moffat is also very good as the famous detective. Although this story has been televised, I feel that everyone would enjoy this CD as it is closer to the original story. I have listened to it several times and would highly recommend it to everyone.

My first tast of Agatha Christie and I havn't looked back since,
By
This review is from: Poirot - Dead Man's Folly (Paperback)
Dead Man's Folly was the first Agatha Christe book I read and I havn't look back since. The basic plot without spoilers has Poirot contacted by his old friend Ariadne Oliver, who has been asked to organise a "murder Hunt" at a country mansion. She has a feeling that things are not quite right and it's not long before she is proved right.
The book is typical Agatha Christie ie murder at a country house who an interesting assortment of characters. Poirot is on form too picking out the clues and until all is revealed. The book moves at a nice pace with no foul language are graphic gore or sex which makes a nice change from alot of modern books. As I said before this is the first Christie book and it's one of my favourites. If you enjoy a classic whodunit from the "Queen of Crime" then this book is for you.
