About the Author:

Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the bestselling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of World War I, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.

From AudioFile:

The beautiful, resourceful, and highly intelligent EmilyTrefuses really deserves her own series in the Christie oeuvre, butinstead she appears the one time in this neat little charmer. Emilyarrives on the scene to rescue her ne'er-do-well fianc�, Jim, whois the prime suspect in the death of his uncle, one CaptainEnderby. The fun comes in when neighbors, pursuing a party game knownas "making the table talk," receive a message from beyond:M-U-R-D-E-R! Fine entertainment, that. Nathaniel Parker has a finelynuanced voice that lends itself perfectly to the steadily plodding DCIand the over-the-top-Australians who come over just to see a realwinter. Great fun and an extra little surprise ending. No one does itbetter than Agatha Christie. D.G. � AudioFile 2003, Portland,Maine-- Copyright � AudioFile, Portland, Maine
