  • While visiting Tommy's Aunt Ada at Sunny Ridge Nursing Home, Tuppence encounters some odd residents including Mrs. Lancaster who mystifies her with talk about "your poor child" and "something behind the fireplace".
    When Aunt Ada dies a few weeks later, she leaves Tommy and Tuppence a painting featuring a house, which Tuppence is sure she has seen before. This realization leads her on a dangerous adventure involving a missing tombstone, diamond smuggling and a horrible discovery of what Mrs. Lancaster was talking about.

    Narrator Alex Jennings is a gorgeous-voiced actor from The Crown, The Queen, Wings of a Dove and numerous Agatha Christie, Morse and Lewis episodes. Monstrously talented … and still going strong. Huge fan!

    “By the Pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes” is spoken by the second witch in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Act 4 Scene 1 famous for the 3 witches stirring the cauldron.

      You are most welcome! This & the other “Tommy & Tuppance” spy stories, etc. by Agatha Christie are some of my favorite stories of hers. I started reading Ms. Christie’s shorter books & stories when I was between 9& 12. Recently I turned 78 & realized that I was now old enough to one of Miss Marple’s “Old Pussies”
      Thanks for your thoughtful Thank You note!

      No audiobook publisher would release a recording like that. IMHO this was caused by transferring the sound from LPs to a computer. (It says Side 1, Side 2, Side 3... which means it was recorded on LPs.) Or the LPs or the gramophone might have been faulty.

    The version read by Hugh Fraser is far superior. This narrator has a monotonous voice with no animation whatsoever.
