Review By john - If you like Agatha Christie then you will like this story. It is involved with many characters and well crafted. My only criticism of this purchase is that the five episodes have been put into to files and are a direct copy of the original drama. The result of this is that if you listen to two episodes in a row you get all the music at the end of an episode followed by the music at the start of the next, I found this annoying. Being put in two files mean episode three is split over the two files. (Posted on 4 February 2013)

This work of detective fiction was created by the queen of crime and suspense writing, Agatha Christie. Christie has sold more than four billion books and has only been outsold by William Shakespeare and the Bible. Her imagination was boundless as evidenced in her many detective novels filled with murder, suspense and intrigue. Now, a new generation of listeners can discover the best of Christie in this collection of audiobooks on CD and as MP3 downloads.

We join The Pale Horse with Mrs Davies on her deathbed as she requests to give a last confession to Father Gorman. However, her last confession was more than just an attempt to cleanse her soul as she reveals a shocking secret along with a strange list of names. A shaken Father Gorman decides to take action but is murdered during an eerie, foggy night before he gets a chance to act upon the terrible information he was given.

Christie introduces us to a young hero who sets out to unravel the secrets of this heinous murder of an innocent man of the cloth. The single clue to the murder is a piece of paper with the names of nine people scribbled on - but what do these nine names mean?

The Pale Horse Inn in the quaint and seemingly charming village of Much Deeping is the spooky focal point of this fantastic story, now available on CD audiobook.
