A repugnant Amercian widow is killed during a trip to Petra…

Among the towering red cliffs of Petra, like some monstrous swollen Buddha, sat the corpse of Mrs Boynton. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist was the only sign of the fatal injection that had killed her.

With only 24 hours available to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalled a chance remark he’d overheard back in Jerusalem: ‘You see, don’t you, that she’s got to be killed?’ Mrs Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he’d ever met…

Critic reviews

"Twice as brilliant as Death on the Nile, which was entirely brilliant." (Observer)

I love Agatha Christie and Hugh Fraser is an appropriate and familiar narrator. Speed, intonation and accents are all reasonable and this is a good undemanding listen.

Great mystery

A really good listen. Thoroughly worth listening to. I really got into the story and was engaged by it. I would recommend it.

Another great Agatha Christie story read by Hugh Fraser. Hugh Fraser does a wonderful job bring life to the story. When a former prison wardress who dominates the lives of her three adult stepchildren and her daughter is found dead at an archaeological dig near the Dead Sea, there are a great many suspects but who killed her???

Great Story

A winding road of clues and stories which are amazingly detailed by Christie - she’s a genius and so is Poirot!

The best detailed story

I found this totally unputdownable!!! It is one the best audio books that I have ever listened to and has already become one of my most played. It is performed with insight, skill and an obvious love for Christies written word. Download it and be prepared to shiver!!

A gripping tale of 'mother love'!
