About this audiobook
A superb novel of possessive love.
Laura Franklin bitterly resented the arrival of her younger sister Shirley, an enchanting baby loved by all the family. But Laura's emotions towards her sister changed dramatically one night, when she vowed to protect her with all her strength and love. While Shirley longs for freedom and romance, Laura has to learn that loving can never be a one-sided affair, and the burden of her love for her sister has a dramatic effect on both their lives. A story of consequences when love turns to obsession…
Famous for her ingenious crime books and plays, Agatha Christie also wrote about crimes of the heart, six bittersweet and very personal novels, as compelling and memorable as the best of her work.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A bit boring and, because there are so many books have been written since, the plot resonate in many lines to other novels. Beautiful, but dumb heroine Shirley who men cannot resist loving forever. If it were not so many pearls of wisdom from Agatha herself, it is quite a boring book. Mr Bulldog and Laura the only characters who worth following .Bulldog channels Agatha's outlook and her contemplations on many aspects of life, that is in my opinion.
