Advantages: Great rendition by Hugh Fraser, unabridged story Disadvantages: Not my favourite Poirot story
at night and got into the habit of listening to an audio book after the light has gone out - somehow it helps to stop the mind from racing and lulls me to sleep - not because the story is boring, but because it soothes. This is one of my favourite stories. DeadMan's Mirror is a short Poirot story by AgathaChristie and thankfully, this version of the audio book is unabridged and comes on CD, lasting for approximately two and a quarter hours. This is not a dramatisation; rather, it is read as it is by Hugh Fraser, who of course plays Captain Hastings in the television version.

Hugh Fraser does a superb job of reading the book. His Poirot accent is so good that I initially thought it was David Suchet (the actor who plays ...
AgathaChristie is the author of 80 crime novels and19 plays and six novels written under the name of Mary Westmacott.
"Towards Zero" is one of those rare novels of Christie , where the mystery is solved by Superintendent Battle of Scotland Yard .
The Audio Cd has been Narrated by Hugh Fraser for this well written book.
The Times Literary Supplement of July 22, 1944 was overwhelmingly positive about the book: "Undiscriminating admirers of Miss Christie must surely miss the thrill of realizing when she is at her best. If this argument is sound then Towards Zero is for the critical..
"Towards Zero" was first published in 1944 and some say that it could very well be her very best. Not only is this an outstanding detective story, but you have Christie brilliantly probing the psychology of a jealous psychopathic killer. The absence ...

My Opinion
I had read the book Death in the Clouds some time ago and vaguely remembered who had committed the murder and how (or maybe there are murders, I'm not telling you) but couldn't remember exactly why. Knowing who the killer was did not deter ...

Manufacturer's product description
When friendship becomes love, two people must face their greatest fear - being hurt again! The powerful new besteller from the country's number one storyteller. Luke Hammond: handsome, rich, charismatic, cursed by private tragedy. Amy Maitland: humble and kind with a good - but wounded - heart. When they meet by chance in a cafe run by Amy's best friend Daisy, a spark of love takes hold of their hearts. But neither are sure that they can dare to love again. And what of Luke's public life, hidden from Amy? The owner of a large factory, he is a pillar of the community, married - though in name only. But Luke is also a sensitive and emotional man, whose greatest joy is retreating to his woodland cabin, nestled deep in the Ribble Valley, where he creates powerful paintings. Amy is torn between her head and her heart, but her sense of honour is paramount - and when she discovers his true identity, she is thrown into even greater turmoil. Then disaster strikes the factory - and with it Daisy. Suddenly, the future looks troubled indeed!. About the AuthorJosephine Cox was born in Blackburn, one of ten children. At sixteen, Josephine married her husband Ken. When their two sons started school, Josephine went to college and gained a place at Cambridge University. She did not take this up as it would have meant living away from home, but she went into teaching - and started to write her first full-length novel. She won the 'Superwoman of Great Britain' Award at the same time as her novel was accepted for publication.
