The Pale Horse by Agatha Christie
Dramatisation of the atmospheric murder mystery novel by Agatha Christie, first published in 1961.

A dying woman confesses a terrible secret to her priest along with a cryptic list of nine names. Before he is able to uncover anything more, the priest is struck dead in the fog and the police discover the list in his shoe.
Our hero Mark Easterbrook, a historian, learns of a secretive organisation known as The Pale Horse and of their supernatural connections in the village of Much Deeping.

Don't turn this off because of the first 2:30 minutes. It's just the introduction. Keep going. It's a great production for one of Agatha's best.

[@beatnikmary]

Yes, the first couple of minutes are absolutely ridiculous (sorry), but then it just goes into the actual story.

[@marcwilliams9824]

You should lose the robot intro. I almost skipped this because I thought it was going to all be like that, like many Librivox.

[@pattyamato8758]

Yes! I would have switched if not for your warning

I am always delighted and grateful when somebody makes the effort to share a radio drama on KZbin. Good, bad, indifferent, it’s a life enriching option. In this case the preamble might be a bit confusing and might benefit from being less. Brevity is a useful rule of thumb for introductions. But I really wish this endeavour well!

[@dousey2paid804]

Thank you for posting this great book

[@suzannahjames5264]

Brilliant! Thank you so much!😊

[@TedaR]

❤Stephanie Cole, Mary Wimbush, Hilda Schroder ..too many greats in cast to list!

[@patriciaapetrone]

I love listening to radio dramas when I'm familiar with at least a few of the actors. This was great!

[@ozzie-sk9dh]

Skip to 2:30 to start folks

[@amb1245]

Thank you!

[@apatriotnowawake9090]

This is such a great story But a fantastic play So thank you once again...

[@user-hj1ld9dv7w]

Thank you!!

[@TedaR]

Tbh I’m glad you present your uploads differently now. Fun to find this older offering buried in one of my long forgotten “created” playlists.

[@suzannahjames5264]

Brilliant! Thank you so much. This story is my favourite. Loved the narrative at the start. It created a great atmosphere. 🙂

[@beatnikmary]

Did you? Oh I really, really didn't like all that preamble.

[@suzannahjames5264]

Much of the dramas beginning was edited which was a pity.

[@warrior9085]

It's because the uploader is too idle to WRITE a synopsis

[@lynnc5252]

Thank you!!! Enjoy your weekend!!

[@dzadza7775]

Yes. Omit intro. Or use separately in a footnote?

[@shellyford3708]

Please get rid of the introduction. Christie's stories don't need promotion.

[@hichammechti4025]

Audio file does not Work!

[@roseannnichol2913]

Stury narration begins after short AI intro.

[@Peaches100]

CLICK BAIT WARNING::: please change the title to the pale horse ... an audio book!

[@colinglass1342]

Is this one of her best stories by the sound of the introduction audio at the very start of this drama think maybe

[@mtsenskmtsensk5113]

Thank you,but the narrative at the beginning made me think it was an audio book, I fast forwarded it then back to the proper start.

[@messrsandersonco5985]

It's still an audiobook! Plays used to be presented as scripts which, in modern times, are called books! An audiobook is simply a play or drama in audio format.

W T really, maybe the robots won’t win

[@vikkihallaway8621]

Why do channels use these bot narrators? they are appalling....

[@pattyamato8758]

That's only the first couple of minutes, the rest is great

[@2msvalkyrie529]

What would you were refer ? Laurence Olivier ? Richard Burton..?....( It's Free ! So stop whining ! )

[@stevebuk100]

sounds like this read by a robot..

[@dodojack1045]

Taking the reader for a fool....!
