Book Audio The Unexpected Guest Agatha Christie Short Story

Summary The Unexpected Guest Agatha Christie :
Summary :
When a stranger runs his car into a ditch in dense fog near the South Wales coast, and makes his way to an isolated house, he discovers a woman standing over the dead body of her wheel-chair bound husband, gun in her hand. She admits to murder, and the unexpected guest offers to help her concoct a cover story.
But is it possible that Laura Warwick did not commit the murder after all? If so, who is she shielding? The victim's retarded young half-brother or his dying matriarchal mother? Laura's lover? Perhaps the father of the little boy killed in an accident for which Warwick was responsible? The house seems full of possible suspects ...
Charles Osborne has adapted the novel from Agatha Christie's original play of the same title from 1958..

One of my favourite AC stories - so convoluted ...sooo AC!!

[@auto-delivery]

Thank you very much! I do like Agatha Christie! I learn English! You help me! I will listen this audio many times!

[@adamantman3200]

No need to listen 'over and over'. There are several thousand other shows right here!

[@auto-delivery]

@@adamantman3200 I am learning English. To understand this story, I need to listen to it 300 times, write it down in a notebook, and translate it with an interpreter. 🤝 (Google Translate)

[@adamantman3200]

@@auto-delivery GOOD FOR YOU! You're making a wonderful effort to learn English! I only wish most Americans would be as diligent at learning to properly speak their own language! GOOD LUCK and BEST WISHES TO YOU! ADAM

@@adamantman3200 Adam, thank you very much for your support! I do appreciate it! Today I got a super charge of energy and motivation together with you! Good luck to you too!

I am an English lady, and find your command of the language very good indeed. Jolly well done. What is your native tongue, might I ask?

[@Bedmoments]

Oooh the twists and turns of this one 😂 I had no idea until the last minute. What a brilliant story ❤

[@marjeketchum1630]

The queen of storytelling strikes again! Well told tale, and nice to listen to.

[@elizabethbower2168]

I’ve listened to lots of Agatha Christie stories but in my opinion this is far better than the usual run-of-the-mill… It keeps you guessing right to the end

[@katywhitham2891]

My absolute idol am d my favourite mystery ❤

[@fourstarfuel9702]

This is great. Listening late in the dark as I couldn't sleep. No idea why it came in my suggestions, but glad it did. Thanks.

[@Tuscanyflower68]

Same thing happened to me. Couldn’t sleep and this popped up on my feed. So happy it did.

[@emmaonthefarm1085]

One of the many reasons I ♥️KZbin so much x

[@lynnseredych3306]

Omgoodness...same thing with me. Can't sleep, popped up. Love it!

[@MSYNGWIE12]

Brilliant! The Queen of Crime does it again. Splendid acting too.

[@paulbarry9771]

So sorry its taken me so long to appreciate this big little gem . I never moved an inch until the end. I am now hooked.

[@christinamerklin2166]

Agatha Christie has always been one of my favorites! Loved to hear it performed!

Wonderful. Enjoyed every minute. What acting! Thank you.

[@Susan-ir5wo]

I’ve been looking for this for years!!! Wonderful story and I love Agatha Christie stories ❤

[@jeanneratterman4174]

Fun dialog! Laura and Julian accusing each other and yet being aghast that one would think the other did it! Two peas in a pod! Love Agatha Christie’s characterizations. She must have studied people a lot and seemingly accurately.

[@jpch8814]

Excellent short story! It revived my love for crime/mystery/thrillers! Thank you for sharing!

[@elizabethtay4879]

Twist upon twist upon twist. Thank you.

[@donchristie420]

Thanks grandma

[@leewu4961]

I have really enjoyed listening to this book and the conversation, because the speed or fluency of the the conversation is so natural 👍👍

[@adamantman3200]

This, like most of her work is pretty far-fetched, but very enjoyable. Listen for foreshadowing throughout. Agatha Christie's first novel was a Poirot Mystery. It was THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES, which was published in 1920. This, along with most of her other work has NEVER gone out of print. That's pretty amazing!

[@judikingsman6132]

Absolutely excellent and a great twist in the tail 😄.

[@Tuscanyflower68]

Wowwwwwww!!! I loved listening to this audiobook!!! Thank you so much!!!

Michael sounds like the actor who played Dr Quimper in The 4:50 from Paddington on TV.

34:40, actor turns into Cary Grant, haha.

[@58christiansful]

Not a short story - a PLAY first staged 1958.

[@maureenbrophy7852]

Other book is CUT before the ending. Got it here

[@ashleysapphire2559]

Great story! I never thought I'd be interested... got me hooked until the end.

[@sarhbook]

I am honored to have you visit and comment, and I am very happy that you enjoyed the novel, such are the novels of Agatha Christie that make us eager and addicted to follow them until the end,

The one man sounds like Stephan fry

[@phoenixrising5088]

I love your English accent. How can I find your playlists as yours is the only voice I like. Arifs is not a voice I like.

[@crazyherisson6500]

Guessed the ending. Good fun, though ...

[@CTID]

Does anyone know where to find the cast? I'm having no luck anywhere...

[@henrydarker4314]

Could be this 1981 BBC Wo0rld Service production. Jillie Meers (Laura Warwick), Alexander Johns (Michael Starkwedder), Diana Bishop (Miss Bennett), Elizabeth Lindsay (Jan Warwick), Margot Boyd (Mrs Warwick), Anthony Hyde (Henry Agell), Sion Probert (Sgt. Cadwaller), Michael Spice (Inspector Thomas) & Sean Arnold (Julian Farrar).

[@CTID]

@@henrydarker4314 Thank you so much!!

[@alinyadeezy9870]

We need subtitles. Thanks.

[@CTID]

Click on settings-subtitles then...

[@jeanneratterman4174]

There may be a box in the upper right hand corner of the screen that has CC inside it. Click on that and a pop up at bottom of the screen “captions on” announcement. Just another suggestion to try if these settings on the screen are available.

[@nonamelast2900]

I'm very curious to know what he might have done with the victim's gun. He took it but how did he get rid of it? And why didn't anybody notice the switcheroo. The victim sounded like someone who'd initial his proud collection of weaponry. Other than that it was a pretty good story til the end.

[@sandeshrathod9699]

The stranger's voice has to be Ralph Fiennes!

[@sharonneethling2243]

Ahead of her time I would say

[@emmanuelmasih2296]

predictable ending...but the story was good...

[@yellowroses1316]

Was this based on a true story?? Does anyone know?

[@johnsonjohnson4725]

Anyone know the actors’ names?

[@angelapietras1235]

Is it Judy Dench who’s taking the wife’s part?

[@dudanunesbleff]

No.

[@CarolineJoyAmico]

Sounds like Gemma Jones, to me. I’m trying to find out too.

[@jeanneratterman4174]

Scroll up to Annette Deane’s inquiry about the cast. There is reply which may help answer your query.

[@CarolineJoyAmico]

@@jeanneratterman4174 thank you! Yes, I did actually see that, but it doesn’t seem to line up correctly. Hugh Frasier should be the main character, and he’s not listed at all, in her comment, so I wonder if there’s more than one production out there… Man, I searched and searched, the day I made the comment, and I couldn’t find ANYTHING, except to verify that it’s Hugh Frasier. (Hugh is Hercule Poirot’s sidekick, in the David Suchet series of Poirot movies. So I recognized his voice immediately, and I did verify that he did play the main part in this.)
