- content: Elinor Carlisle has everything, so when she's to be tried for murder, everyone is shocked. Christie's clever plotting keeps even the most practiced sleuths on the trail until the very end of this topsy-turvy story. David Suchet renders each character with great individuality, interest, and seeming innocence, adding to the intrigue. Each of the stereotypes is fun, and even acceptable, under Suchet's influence. Listeners are in for an added treat because SAD CYPRESS is also one of Christie's best efforts. Not just for mystery fans, this portrait of manners will have wide appeal among fiction lovers. S.G.B.

- content: A charming, classic English country house mystery is brought to life in this radio dramatization. Hercule Poirot investigates the poisoning of a young woman following the death of a wealthy widow. Poirot is given a charming, astute characterization without overdoing it. The full cast of actors and complete sound track vividly create scenes, adding dimension a single narrator cannot. Gossipy whispering among servants, musical bridges and quick scene changes to advance the plot effectively build suspense and suspicion. This performance leaves the listener hoping Bantam will present more of Christie's tales--many well suited to the audio format. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
