Customer Reviews

This is the third volume that features three Agatha Christie tales specially recorded for BBC Radio 4 and all three stories have been given a modern twist in these excellent audiobook interpretations. The three contemporary versions of the stories include In a Glass Darkly, The Dressmaker’s Doll and The Case of the Perfect Carer.

In a Glass Darkly is a spooky take that follows a man who witnesses the brutal slaying of a girl in the reflection of a mirror. However, the girl mysteriously disappears along with her killer when he turns around and leads him to believe that the murder was in fact a premonition. Jealousy and loyalty are explored in this chilling story as he struggles to prevent the murder by deciphering his vision before it’s too late.

The Dressmaker’s Doll is another popular Christie book filled with mystery and suspense, as we meet Octavia the talented dressmaker, who wants nothing more than to be a success in the cut-throat fashion world. But why does a creepy doll keep appearing in her workshop? The Case of the Perfect Carer is the last story in this collection that sees a so-far perfect carer turn into a jewel thief suspect. But is she really as guilty as she looks? Find out by listening to these memorable Christie stories on CD audiobook, also available as MP3 downloads to compete any audiobook collection.
