What a brilliant story! Perfectly read. I have been binging a bit on Agatha every half decade or so of my life, and every time I come back, there are still stories I've neither heard nor read and very few of them are less than very good. What a mind she had!
Thank you very much for the upload, great tale & lovely music at the end. Sometimes if you fastforward almost to the end, play the last few seconds then start from the beginning you don't get the adverts.

I keep listening to Christie stories that are read by an illiterate AI imitation of Hugh Fraser (he really should sue those responsible), and it's so refreshing to hear the real thing. Thank you!
