"Taken at the Flood" by Agatha Christie [UNABRIDGED AUDIOBOOK] When a widow tries to collect on her inheritance, her in-laws are unpleasantly surprised. They're even more horrified by the news – suspiciously related from the "spirit world" – that she may be a bigamist. When murder shakes the family tree, Hercule Poirot investigates. Read by Hugh Fraser.
'Some are born to sweet delight/Some are born to endless night' - William Blake. Agatha Christie wrote "Endless Night" in 1967, and it is one of her greatest - and most unusual - novels. Creepy, malevolent and claustrophobic, it is a story about choices, the nature of good and evil, and grim retribution. Mike Rogers had a childhood fantasy about what life would be like as an adult; he'd have a beautiful wife, they would live in a beautiful home, and this would be a peaceful and deserved reward for a turbulent early life.When he meets Ellie Gutman at a lovely, remote spot known as Gypsy's Acre, suddenly it is all within his grasp.
Poirot is relaxing at a picturesque, seaside resort. When a beautiful, flirtatious actress is murdered, everyone on the island is suspect. The crime presents Poirot with one of the most baffling puzzles of his career. Christie never wrote a more cleverly woven story than this grim, yet delicious, revelation of evil under the sun.
The famous detective Hercule Poirot is summoned to the country home of Sir Gervase Chevenix-Gore, but when he arrives, his host is found dead in his study, apparently of suicide. This short selection proves again that Agatha Christie is a master of plot and conversation, in particular the art of interrogation, as demonstrated by the perceptive Hercule Poirot. Hugh Fraser's clear and eloquent British accent bends and lifts to suit both the character and rhythm of this mystery. He successfully portrays a full cast of characters, mastering the difficult nuances of arrogance and self-importance of one and the twittering of another, and moves seamlessly among them.
