Agatha Christie: Sparkling Cyanide Audiobook on Audio CD, Audio Download, buy now from AudioGO

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of a classic Agatha Christie mystery. ‘There’s Rosemary, that’s for remembrance.’ Published in 1945, Sparkling Cyanide is all about remembrance. It begins with six characters recalling the horrific death of Rosemary Barton, a beautiful but shallow young heiress poisoned by a cyanide-spiked glass of champagne whilst celebrating her birthday at a smart London restaurant. Rosemary haunts all six characters, each of them a suspect, throughout the story – and it’s not until her killer is found and her ghost laid to rest that the group can move on, though they will never forget. With a distinguished cast including Peter Wight and Amanda Drew, this wonderfully entertaining production retains the thrill of Agatha Christie’s clever, compulsive story.

Nobody who attended dinner at the illustrious Luxembourg restaurant that fateful November night can forget the events that unfolded. Poisoned by a glass of champagne spiked with cyanide, the stunning but shallow heiress suddenly dropped dead as she celebrated her birthday.

As the story begins, six of the meal’s attendants convene and express their fears that Rosemary is haunting them. Every one of them is a suspect of the crime, yet every one of them claims to hold the belief that their lives cannot possibly move forward until the killer is found and the young victim’s ghost is put to rest.

In this BBC dramatisation of Agatha Christie’s thrilling classic, all the elements that make a perfect whodunit are combined to forward a plot that will keep you hooked right up until the very end. With an eminent full cast of actors and actresses, including the likes of Peter Wright and Amanda Dew, ‘Sparkling Cyanide’ on CD audiobook is sure to delight fans of the literary Queen of Crime, as well as those discovering her time-honoured mysteries for the very first time.

‘Sparkling Cyanide’ is also available to download in MP3 format, so you can listen to this exciting BBC audiobook wherever suits you.
