The books are so much better than the Poirot tv series. It makes me nuts that tv casting does not conform to Agatha Christie’s description of a specific character. The gardener is described here with dark hair. The tv character us a blue eyed blonde. The au pair is described as a lumpy unattractive girl. The au pair in the tv video series is a blue eyed beauty. 😮

I like the narrator, but I can't listen to her. She has a tendency to start out loud and clear and even sharp, and then she mumbles in the middle and swallows the end. Of both sentences and paragraphs. Makes it hard for people like me, who are hard of hearing. I have to have the volume so loud that I can hear the mumbling, which makes the sharp, loud start of sentences painfully shrill! And she makes Miss Marple so soft-spoken that I can barely hear her, even on full volume.

I never get all the way through, because it’s so perfect to sleep with. 😂😂😂 Thank you for not putting noisy rap music in the middle which wakes me up with so many other channels - I then have to put on my glasses and search for another story. 😂😂😂 But this Agatha Christie is the perfect bedfellow, and is so much more healthy than sleeping tablets. 😂😂😂 I’m a happy subscriber. ❤

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..
@jeanettesdaughter15 күн бұрын
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.

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!
