What to expect

'POSTERN OF FATE'

Tommy and Tuppence Beresford have just become the proud owners of an old house in an English village. Along with the property, they have inherited some worthless bric-a-brac, including a collection of antique books. While rustling through a copy of 'The Black Arrow', Tuppence comes upon a series of apparently random underlinings.

However, when she writes down the letters, they spell out a very disturbing message: M a r y – J o r d a n – d i d – n o t – d i e – n a t u r a l l y. And sixty years after their first murder, Mary Jordan's enemies are still ready to kill…

"Past and present interlock impressively… this is a genuine 'tour de force'." OBSERVER

"The Beresfords are wonderfully revived. Smooth, beautifully paced, and effortlessly convincing." NEW YORK TIMES

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!
