Agatha Christie, the acknowledged mistress of suspense creator of indomitable sleuth Miss Marple, meticulous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, and so many other unforgettable characters brings her entire oeuvre of ingenious whodunits, locked room mysteries, and perplexing puzzles to audio. When Lord Edgware dies a most unnatural death, detective Poirot must solve a most confounding conundrum. When Lord Edgware is found murdered, the police are baffled. His estranged actress wife was seen visiting him just before his death, and Hercule Poirot himself heard her brag of her plan to "get rid" of him. How could she have stabbed Lord Edgware in his library at exactly the same time she was seen dining with friends? If the obvious killer, the slain peer's spiteful wife, didn't do it, who did? It's a case that almost proves to be too much for the great Poirot.
