[@LynneSmith-x6v]

Great story and narration thanks! Love Tommy and tuppence. Funny.

[@pattischult9401]

James Warwick is my favorite Tommy Beresford ever. To have him narrate this story was just wonderful!!

[@rachelsanger8629]

A great listen ! Thank you.

[@maureenbrophy7852]

The only book of Agatha’s not read. Very enjoyable. 5 stars

[@rustyhguitar1]

Gotta say I’m a big Hugh Fraser fan, but James Warwick does a great job here. Love it.

[@JMJ132]

James Warwick! I love his voice. Can’t help wishing he and Francesca Annis could have filmed this book dramatization together.

[@pattischult9401]

I wholeheartedly agree!!!

[@RootlessNZ]

[@janetmackinnon3411]

What a good reader! Thank you.

[@susanp.collins7834]

Brilliant reading. Lovely voice.

Agatha is amazing. Funny, witty ( whitty?), knowledgable of couples tiny wars between them and united force against the world. What an amazing writter! I wonder if it was all her imagination or did she and husband lived Tommy and Tuppence adventures deskised of archeology expeditions?... She was certainly clever and well connected enough to interess the secret services... The way the story ends. Was she living such a family life or engaging in secret espionage?....

[@martavdz4972]

Interesting idea, but I don't think the secret service would have chosen her and her husband. There's this ex-spy on the Wired channel who says that spies need to be like grey mice. Dame Agatha and her husband were very much in the public eye, so you never knew where the journalists would turn up. Their movements were well known and someone might have connected the dots. Besides, their expeditions were mostly in Egypt, Syria and Iraq. Today, it sounds like exactly the hotspots you would send spies to, but it wasn't like that back then. It would have been better to send sir Mallowan to excavate Celtic graves in Austria or Ancient Roman ruins in Italy, but I don't think they ever worked in those countries.

[@martavdz4972]

Btw your comment got me thinking and I got curious about the publication date. Turns out, 1941 🙂 IMHO her bosses wouldn't have let her write about espionage if she really was in espionage 🙂

[@chuckcassel5417]

Thanks for the book

[@AnnaOftedal]

I love of Agatha Christie,s books. The best thriller writer ever! 😊❤

[@susanotway7875]

Very enjoyable. Thanks. Loads of interesting characters and brilliantly narrated.

[@helenamcginty4920]

I love listening to these whole ironing etc but occasionally while lolling. Big problem when kitten walks over my mobile and switches the channel. Then it goes back to when I last paused. Grrrrr.

[@jul7810]

Thank you for the story I enjoyed it a great. Deal

[@hv1946FLUSA]

Thank you. Excellent narration.

[@prettypurple7175]

BRAVO 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@susanaldridge2000]

Tuppence again! Very nice. And voices wonderful. Waiting for the toddler to repeat a German word she overhears !

[@martavdz4972]

SPOILER: I just realized a horrible thing: If the mother survived and had gotten her child, they wouldn't have been able to understand each other. The only help might have been those several German words you mentioned. The Polish woman only spoke Polish and German, she didn't speak much English. And the child was just at the age when she was starting to speak, so she was learning English (and probably a couple of words of German). So, mother and child would only have been able to communicate in the language of their oppressors. Unfortunately, these things happen in wars. I was very impressed when I was 10 by a book about a Czech girl who was forcibly taken from her parents, brought up in Germany by a very strict, cold family, and nearly forgot her own language. After the war, it was only confirmed she wasn't German because she automatically handed someone a doll when she heard the sentence "Hand me that doll" in Czech.

[@sueamos3860]

Very enjoyable thank you

[@timgluckman8663]

Agatha Christie got into trouble in 1941 (bk pub. date) bc of the choice of name Major Bletchley (Park...geddit?). But she managed to convince the "services" that it was an innocent coincidence sparked by travelling thru it by train.

[@betsya7054]

Thank you. This one I have been waiting for. So far it is excellent! ❤

[@lorihogue5015]

Bravo

[@nancybingham7298]

One of my favourites. Thanks for posting.

[@fieldofrelax986]

Thanks for listening

[@lynd7081]

Very good twists and turns, what a wonderful mind Ms Christie had. The child led to them to who the spy was. She plays a big part in the story. Thank you for upload, good to hear a whole story without adverts every 4/5 minutes and a first class reader.

[@rAndomlight1069]

1:18:24 No skunks, swine or bugs were harmed in the making of this production.

[@Marago-n8h]

I‘ve first read the german version …. The greater is the pleasure to listen to the original english version Very exiciting, very thrilling… even I have some memories how this mistery thriller will end.👌

[@AliciaMarkoe]

Thank you 🦋

[@lizdelagarza8025]

Your blinking thank you begins to irritate...

[@deloreslowndes762]

Christie is an amazing writer, the tension she can create in her reader is intense.

[@rosalindabarrett7508]

Great

[@esterherschkovich6499]

New sub here 😂thanks.

[@martynaolik1850]

I don't get why the toddler gets so many lines XD

[@susanaldridge2000]

Maybe she has a part to play… like repeating a german word she hears

[@mollymonaghan7991]

Also, Tommy and Tuppence were empty-nesters, feeling like old fogeys. Tuppence fell in love with the baby and adopted her in the end.

[@Cromxxxben]

The child's book, and her repeating Goosey Goosey Gander.

[@Elaineshaw-d6m]

Because Agatha Christie says so.

Amused at the then scientific mainstream ideas of phrenology. As if you could tell a German from an Englishman from the shape of his head. Especially considering the fact that the Anglo Saxons were from the Germanic peoples. 😉

[@hopeleith4210]

one of my favourite Christie novels - and James Warwick is the perfect reader. But Deborah Beresford - the daughter - is more annoying every time I listen to the story LOL

[@susanp.collins7834]

Deborah reminds me of Jane - Mrs Pollifax's daughter in Dorothy Gilman's Mrs Pollifax series.

I love you 😘💕❤️

Hitler fatal disease? Like putin ? Strange conspiracy theories 🤔

[@TM-tx9ct]

Hitler's illness was a cocain habit apparently.

[@martavdz4972]

Suppose it happens in all wars. There are whole paragraphs that sound as if taken straight from 2022 - 2023 (for example, around 10:00).
