À propos de cet audio
TWO BESTSELLING MYSTERIES IN ONE GREAT PACKAGE!
From the Queen of Mystery, The Man in the Brown Suit, in which a young woman makes a dangerous decision to investigate a shocking “accidental” death she witnesses at a London tube station, and in 4:50 From Paddington, a woman in one train witnesses a murder occurring in another passing one…and only Miss Marple believes her story.
THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT
Pretty, young Anne came to London looking for adventure. In fact, adventure comes looking for her—and finds her immediately at Hyde Park Corner tube station. Anne is present on the platform when a thin man, reeking of mothballs, loses his balance and is electrocuted on the rails.
The Scotland Yard verdict is accidental death. But Anne is not satisfied. After all, who was the man in the brown suit who examined the body? And why did he race off, leaving a cryptic message behind: "17-122 Kilmorden Castle"?
Twisty, clever, and intriguing, The Man in the Brown Suit showcases Agatha Christie once again at her very best.
Performed by Emilia Fox
4:50 From Paddington
For an instant the two trains ran side by side. In that frozen moment, Elspeth McGillicuddy stared helplessly out of her carriage window as a man tightened his grip around a woman's throat. The body crumpled. Then the other train drew away. But who, apart from Mrs. McGillicuddy's friend Jane Marple, would take her story seriously? After all, there are no other witnesses, no suspects, and no case—for there is no corpse, and no one is missing.
Miss Marple asks her highly efficient and intelligent young friend Lucy Eyelesbarrow to infiltrate the Crackenthorpe family, who seem to be at the heart of the mystery, and help unmask a murderer.

©1957 Agatha Christie Limited (P)2011 HarperCollinsPublishers Ltd.I found 4:50 difficult to follow because although I have read the book many times, the narrator being someone who I am so used to seeing actually playing Miss Markle made it confusing to follow dialogue.
I will listen to Brown Suit again but sadly, I will not purchase another of the Miss Marple’s narrated by Joan Hicks.
Good but.....

The narrator of The Man in the Brown Suit made it easy to listen to this intricate story. The narrator of the 4:50 From Paddington made it a bit more challenging because it is a voice associated with Jane Marple from the films. It is not a strong voice. Initially it distracted me, however as I became immersed in the story itself it all dissolved into one delightful listen. Agatha is truly a remarkable writer of this genre and it is difficult to find her equal after all these years.
This was a great value for my credit and I recommend it.
Forgotten how rich the Agatha Christie books are

Recording volume is a bit low, and as is common with older recordings transferred to Audible, the first syllable of some passages is cut off.
Exactly as anticipated
