Description
Famous crime novelist Ariadne Oliver, visiting her friend Judith Butler in the little town of Woodleigh Common, is invited to a Hallowe'en Party put on by society hostess Mrs Rowena Drake for the local teenagers. During her preparations for the party, the conversation turns to Ariadne's grisly novels. One of the teenagers, Joyce Reynolds, boasts that she once witnessed a murder, although she didn't realise at the time what she'd seen. Convinced that she is just trying to attract attention, no-one believes her - but later she is found tragically drowned in an apple-bobbing tub. Distraught, Ariadne decides to call upon the services of her old friend Hercule Poirot to solve the case. Assuming that Joyce was killed because of what she said, Poirot knows he must find out if the teenager was telling the truth. If so, there is not just one death for him to investigate, but two... Starring John Moffatt as Hercule Poirot, with Stephanie Cole as Ariadne Oliver.

- content: In a picturesque British village, a fun-filled Halloween party for young teens culminates with the murder of a girl found drowned in an apple-bobbing tub. John Moffat delivers a strong and accomplished performance. Especially provocative is his portrayal of Christie's hero, Hercule Poirot, as he calculates, hypothesizes, and interrogates one peculiar suspect after another. Moffatt intelligently assesses each suspect, carefully providing insightful portrayals of emotional complications, personality flaws and greedy motives. B.J.P. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

- content: When a girl is drowned after telling mystery writer Ariadne Oliver that she witnessed a murder, Hercule Poirot finds himself looking into several unresolved deaths in an English town. John Moffatt exaggerates Poirot's Belgian accent, but his speech is always clear, with the inflections used to good effect in making observations about human nature and showing the way Poirot uses flattery and manipulation to gain the confidence of witnesses. It's the observations about people that make this Agatha Christie novel work as the author brings her cozy mystery style into the less-than-cozy 1960s, giving Poirot and Oliver the chance to react to changing times.
