Rosemary Leach really is the best narrator. She was a great actor.

Beautifully read. Thank you.

Love the reader. A curse has come upon me cried the Lady of Chalot… a riveting open to a disturbing narrative. Gosh - Agatha Christie knew so much about the trouble the well meaning or the obtuse cause for others. Miss Marple is certainly her alter ego I think , an unassuming but piercing intellect, more so than the justified braggart Hercule Poirot. Imho of course!

Such a pleasure to listen to the reading of this enthralling story.

Sadly this happened to actress Gene Tierney when she caught German measles from a fan at the Hollywood Canteen i believe AC based the book on this event..

Startling information and it fits. Tierney was stunning and unusual onscreen. Leave Her to Heaven her best performance according to my Mom her biggest fan. That horse ride scattering the ashes! And she was equally enigmatic offscreen and the inexplicable later years forever a mystery. It’s a wonderful life ( pun intended) but it can be so cruel. Our human lives - all of us no matter how beautiful or talented or rich - are fragile. We are always poised between life and death. A tiny pivot : this way triumph, that way disaster. “It’s the same in the village as it is in the development.”

It's my own fault for reading the comments before I finish listening to the story but this gave it away for me very near the beginning. Would you possibly consider editing your comment to remove the part just after the name Gene Tierney? It would allow those who wanted to understand the idea for the story to look up the original without guessing in advance what was going to happen.

So lovely to again hear an old favourite.

**I think this is another magnificent Agatha Christie's story. However, it has the saddest conclusion of all her books. What a story! I do believe what happened to her was totally unfair... But fortunately, our polite, cheerful and smart Miss Marple managed to find out the truth...** Awesome reading! It is really having a pleassure time to hear you. 👏

Wow! Never knew that. Hope Gene Tierney wasn't as horribly self-centered as this character is. I can barely stand to listen to all the blathering about how she deserves to be happy. ​@@user-gt8uf3nd9i

It’s a great book as usual, but I think The Crooked House was really sad.I actually teared up at the ending.
