A strange sentiment considering no one is likely to forget the night, exactly a year ago, that Rosemary Barton died at exactly the same table, her beautiful face unrecognizable, convulsed with pain and horror. But then Rosemary had always been memorable - she had the ability to arouse strong passions in most people she met. In one case, strong enough to kill....

A blinding snowstorm - and a homicidal maniac - traps a small party of friends in an isolated estate. Out of this deceptively simple setup, Agatha Christie fashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers, which in turn would provide the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in history. From this classic title novella to the deliciously clever gems on its tail (solved to perfection by Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple), this rare collection of murder most foul showcases Christie at her inventive best.

Kind of like a "Pinky and the Brain" story
Where does Destination Unknown rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Average.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes, because Agatha Christie never fails to deliver. But the story is quite cheesy and predictable at times.
Which character – as performed by Emilia Fox – was your favorite?
Aristides! She could really portrait him as a Marvel villain.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
It's a good book, but not your typical Agatha Christie. The story doesn't hold all that well and the villain is quite cartoonish. Several loose ends. But it must have something to it, because I had read it many years ago and I could still remember parts of it. I think the first time I read it I thought it was better.

Unusual for Agatha Christie
This book was not like most other Agatha Christie novels - no Hercule Poirot & no Miss Marple. It is a 1950s version of “The Secret Adversary” (1929). However, instead of facing the Bolsheviks, this protagonist, Hilary Craven, must uncover the evil doings of the Soviets.
I enjoyed the plot and main character’s development. The reader is excellent.

As this isn’t one of the more famous Agatha Christie stories - you are really left to the end unraveling the mystery. I loved the narrator - she does such a great job with all the voices and makes it so much fun.

I love Agatha Christie. Here I feel like the plot speeds up and slows down at the wrong moments... Or like she just tried to cram in the ending. Glad I heard it, but won't re-listen the way I do many of her other stories.
