About this listen

Designed to match the new look Hercule Poirot series.

Read by Hugh Fraser who play Captain Hastings in the popular TV series.

Lucy Angkatell invited Hercule Poirot to lunch. To tease the great detective, her guests stage a mock murder beside the swimming pool. Unfortunately, the victim plays the scene for real. As his blood drips into the water, John Christow gasps one final word: ‘Henrietta’. In the confusion, a gun sinks to the bottom of the pool.

Poirot’s enquiries reveal a complex web of romantic attachments. It seems everyone in the drama is a suspect – and each a victim of love.

Fantastic insight into human behaviour and motives. I could really relate to Henrietta being an artist myself; Christie completely understood the obsession to create and creative mind. Real page turner a thoroughly satisfying read.
