The Hollow: A Brief Overview of a Mysterious Tale The Hollow, originally a novel by Agatha Christie, revolves around a perplexing murder mystery set in a country house. In this classic whodunit, Christie introduces readers to an intricate plot where suspicions are cast upon various characters, all with possible motives. The story features Hercule Poirot, the famous detective, who uncovers secrets and ultimately solves the case through his trademark blend of observation and deduction. The narrative unfolds as a group of guests gathers at The Hollow, a large countryside estate. The apparent harmony of the setting is shattered when one of the guests, Dr. John Christow, is found dead by the swimming pool, with his wife, Gerda, holding the murder weapon. What seems like an open-and-shut case quickly spirals into a web of deceit, with hidden emotions, love triangles, and long-held grudges coming to light. Christie’s genius lies in her ability to weave a complex story while keeping readers on the edge of their seats. Each character plays a critical role in maintaining the suspense, and the setting of The Hollow adds to the eerie atmosphere of isolation and secrecy. Poirot, who happens to be staying nearby, steps in to untangle the truth, revealing a solution that surprises both the characters and the readers alike.

Well read n narrated, thanks Mr Hugh Fraser.😊👍😊. Always enjoy listening into your natural pleasant n gifted voice. That gently animated presentation of the story told! Like n love it! 🙏💖🇸🇬💖🙏
The inimitable Hugh Fraser. Irrelevant that he played the part of Hastings in the Poirot series (but he was absolutely marvellous in that) - Hugh Fraser creates an entire world one can almost touch, real characters one can almost see, with his voice and sympathetic (in the old fashioned use of the word) telling of the Christie stories.
Thank you for uploading this reading of 'The Hollow'. It is a pleasure to hear the full book, which is so much better than the television version (Midge is so important to the story as emotional and moral counterpoint, and yet the televised version reduced her role to nearly nothing). Hugh Fraser's reading is delightful, as always. Can anyone tell me why Henrietta wanted her sculpture of Nausicaa to have a 'blind stare'? The only Nausicaa I know, in the Odyssey, was certainly not blind.

No reason to read so fast
Ear of the beholder.
You can alter the speed of speech
Boring!
thanks for the visit
My goodness, I could listen to Hugh Faser read the telephone book and be riveted and thoroughly entertained, let alone an offering by Agatha.
