    About this audiobook

    The final Tommy & Tuppence novel.

    Tommy and Tuppence Beresford have just become the proud owners of an old house in an English village. Along with the property, they have inherited some worthless bric-a-brac, including a collection of antique books. While rustling through a copy of The Black Arrow, Tuppence comes upon a series of apparently random underlinings.

    However, when she writes down the letters, they spell out a very disturbing message:
    M a r y – J o r d a n – d i d – n o t – d i e – n a t u r a l l y…

      Hugh Fraser ( who played Captain Hastings in the David Suchet Poirot series) was a great narrator but even he can’t save this novel. I’m an Agatha Christie fan but this, sadly, is probably the worst I’ve read or listened to. I looked up when she wrote it and it was the last one she wrote and to be frank, it shows.

      I like Tommy and Tuppence Beresford and it has an intriguing premise but to me it felt like a short story that got stretched. There were conversations and speculations repeated again and again. Apparently Agatha started suffering from dementia shortly before she died and this novel seems to bear that out. I’m amazed her editor didn’t pick up on this but perhaps they thought anything from Agatha would sell.

      The other thing that irritated me is that presumably it’s set in the early nineteen seventies when she wrote it yet Tommy and Tuppence constantly refer to old people remembering what their grandparents told them about events. The murder happened just before 1914 so that’s roughly 60 years or two generations. And characters who are 70 in say 1974 (like Tuppence & Tommy) would have been born in 1904, so would have been 10 in 1914. So, it would have been their parents not their grandparents. Grrr.

      Also, the ending is pretty unsatisfactory. However, Tommy and Tuppence do have some good banter and I enjoyed their discussion about Victorian children’s literature.

      Absolutely wonderful!! Tommy and Tuppence are smart, funny, endearing and great Christie characters!

      I wouldn’t recommend this book. Read all other Christie s before
