About this listen
Mystery and suspense surround a seance in a snowbound house on the edge of Dartmoor, where the prediction of a grisly murder is only the precursor to an ingenious deadly crime and one of Agatha Christie’s most gripping thrillers…
In a remote house in the middle of Dartmoor, six shadowy figures huddle around a small table for a seance. Tension rises as the spirits spell out a chilling message: ‘Captain Trevelyan… dead… murder.’
Is this black magic or simply a macabre joke? The only way to be certain is to locate Captain Trevelyan. Unfortunately, his home is six miles away and, with snow drifts blocking the roads, someone will have to make the journey on foot…

Great easy listen
I can't say there were any particular momentous moments but there also weren't any dull bits. The narration was spot on and the variety of voices splendid. All in all I would highly recommend this story. Would be a great addition to take on holiday.

Expert narration by Hugh Fraser.
A light little tale of murder in the snowy west country is solved by a pretty young thing and an upcoming journalist.

Wonderful, atmospheric story
If you’re feeling wintery, you can’t beat it. My favourite Christie. Hugh Fraser is always excellent.

Jane Austin meets Sherlock Holmes
There's no Poirot or Marple to solve this 1931 mystery. Instead, the sleuth is feisty Emily Trefusis, a beautiful, thoroughly modern girl about town. She charms and cajoles secrets out of everyone in a bid to free her fiancé who's arrested for murder. But, as she solves the case, does she exonerate her man or fall in love with a new partner in crime?
Having a single young woman as the sleuth was ground-breaking at the time and definitely inspired more in this genre like The Lady Vanishes and the film adaptation of The 39 Steps, (the book had no female lead at all). Sadly, tv adaptations replace Emily with Christie's more famous Poirot or Marple. But on a good note, they change the plot too, so you may not know who dunnit!
Hugh Fraser's narration is spot on, as ever, and snowbound Dartmoor is the perfect location for this atmospheric mystery. Enjoy!

Snowy spooky and splendid whodunnit
A clever golden age whodunnit with lively characters and a snowy spooky setup. Hugh Fraser catches the tone beautifully as usual -a real joy
