'Monsieur Poirot, somehow or other I've just got to get rid of my husband!' No sooner had she uttered the words than Lady Edgware's husband was dead, brutally stabbed in the neck. The evidence against her is overwhelming, the case cut and dried. But what was the truth behind it all? What enemies lurked in the background of the victim's life?

Hercule Poirot is on the case, intrigued once more, ready to investigate murder in the library....

John Moffatt stars as the great Belgian detective in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation.

"A fantastically convoluted crime, and a really rather chilling murderer. Dame Agatha portrays a person completely without remorse in an audaciously believable way. Genius!This is also the first Poirot story I've read that's narrated by Captain Hastings, and he's such a dear. :) "

    " No surprise, Poirot comes off as pompous in this early Christie mystery. The plot was solid and I love the 1930s starlet attitude in Lady Edgeware. The writing, since for both adult and young adult, is simplicity itself. Overall, an easy, fun romp. "

    " I'm going to review all Christie's books/stories with one review. She's an awesome author. The reader gets a peek into aristocratic English life of a much earlier time period. The stories are all plot-driven, with sketchy characters, and sometimes contrived clues, but the plots are INTERESTING and keep the reader involved. There's a lot of violence,blood, guts, and evil--off screen/page--but no voyeuristic sex in great detail, thank heaven!! These books are as nice to read as curling up in your favorite chair with a cup of cocoa and the dog on your lap while it blizzards outside. "

    " A talented albeit empty-headed actress publically announces her wish as to the death of her husband but appears to be innocent when the man is, in fact, found dead. Only Hercule Poirot can solve a case such as this. "

    " Satu-satu nya hal menarik di buku Christie yang satu ini adalah kehadiran Hasting yang naif seperti biasa. Dari segi cerita, saya tidak terlalu amaze dengan yang satu ini. Pun seperti biasa, pendalaman psikologi karakternya sangat kuat "

    " I don't remember the story at all (read it back in high school), but it was my first Agatha Christie work and made enough of an impression that I still remember the title and I continued to read her other works. It must have been pretty good. "
