What to expect
The final Tommy & Tuppence novel.
Tommy and Tuppence Beresford have just become the proud owners of an old house in an English village.

However, when she writes down the letters, they spell out a very disturbing message:

The final Tommy and Tuppence story. My impression is that Christie had a lot of fun with these two, with each story taking a different approach, and with knowing winks to murder mystery readers. Following the couple's life and adventures with Hugh Fraser's narration throughout was an excellent experience. He captured many different characters, including three part dialogues with himself, and the Beresfords' voices aging over the books. Very rewarding!
