    About this audiobook

    A collection of Agatha Christie’s stories of the macabre and the occult, where a message from beyond the grave unmasks an insane killer, and a nun has the power to cause a landslide. Read by the prince of darkness, Christopher Lee.

    A collection of Agatha Christie’s stories of the macabre and occult.

    From the story ‘The Red Signal’ where an omen from ‘the other side’ unmasks an insane killer, to ‘The Hound of Death’ where a convent blows up – and on the remaining wall is left a black powder mark, in the shape of a great dog…

    The other spine chilling mysteries are ‘The Fourth Man’, ‘The Gipsy’ and ‘The Lamp’.

      Although the cover doesn't indicate it, this is actually a book full of short stories. Agatha Christie is often referred to as a master of crime, however this book doesn't focus on crime the way her others do. Most of them are of murder. The short stories in this book mainly focus on mysterious events, usually focusing on the occult. There is quite a mixture. Several feature mediums, while others talk of the exchange of souls. Some have a good explanation, while others leave you wondering exactly what happened.

      I have a harder time reading short stories, mainly because in general, I find that there really isn't a plot to be drawn into and their isn't enough of the writing to be drawn to the characters. These weren't too bad though. The focus on the occult and unexplainable kept my focus away from the actual plot and characters. Overall I liked this book. I have yet to find a Christie that I don't.

      Interesting but patchy collection of short stories about the unexplained. They are thought provoking but I have read scarier.
