About this listen

After the death of her husband, Dolly Bantry sold Gossington Hall to the former film star Marina Gregg and her husband. When the glamorous couple decide to throw a benefit party for the local hospital, the grounds are thronged with curious visitors, and for one of them, the day ends in tragedy.

As Marina is serving cocktails in the house, she is cornered by the excitable Heather Babcock, who chatters away about their former meeting about eleven years ago before spilling her daiquiri all over herself and Marina. Ever the gracious hostess, Marina offers her own untouched drink to Mrs Babcock - only to look on, horrified, as the lady dies in front of her.

It is up to Miss Marple to find out who was really meant to take the poison that killed poor Heather Babcock. Could it be that Marina Gregg was the intended victim? If so, Miss Marple’s task will not be an easy one, for the lady had an unusually large number of enemies...

Agatha Christie’s perplexing mystery is dramatised with a full cast, including Ian Lavender, Gayle Hunnicutt, and James Laurenson, with June Whitfield as the sharp-witted spinster sleuth.

Agatha Christie at her best

June Whitfield is the perfect miss Marple for the Radio she paints the picture in the mind that takes you into the story

Excellent !

I love these adaptations with June Whitfield as Miss Marple and have listened to this particular one several times. The actors all read their parts skillfully and the bonus is having Ian Lavender as the inspector and JW's daughter Suzy Atchison in the cast. I am slowly acquiring all the dramatised adaptations and anticipate enjoying them all . Ten out of ten !

ANOTHER SUPERB CHRISTIE PRODUCTION

You cannot beat these full cast Agatha Christie productions for sheer enthralling entertainment. June Whitfield (not of my taste as an actress) yet June pulls it all off with aplomb as the grey haired curly topped knitting sleuth who cannot resist a murder. The excellent actors bring alive this superb play. I have had the full Agatha Christie sets for several years and never tire of listening to them, they bring such joy.
