Ebooks To Download

A triple bill of archive BBC radio dramas, believed lost for over half a century and only recently rediscovered. Butter in a Lordly Dish, written specially for radio in 1948, features Richard Williams as Sir Luke Enderby KC, whose infidelities lead him into trouble when he goes to meet his latest flame. Williams also stars as Hercule Poirot in Murder in the Mews, a 1955 adaptation of a short story. A young woman is found dead in her flat, the day after Guy Fawkes night. Did she die by her own hand, or someone else's? In Personal Call, also written specially for radio by Agatha Christie, a disturbing telephone call from a woman named Fay has consequences for both Richard Brent and his wife Pam. This 1960 production stars Ivan Brandt and Barbara Lott.

has finished listening to "Agatha Christie - The Lost Plays" released by BBC Radio.This CD collection consists of three of Agatha Christie's full cast audio dramas by the original cast that had been previously "lost" until they were rediscovered somewhere in one of the BBC's dusty and moldy archives - and thank goodness. Agatha Christie certainly knew how to build horror and suspense as she so aptly does in "Butter in a Lordly Dish," in which a grieving widow gets revenge on the barrister who successfully prosecuted her husband by playing on his weakness for beautiful women. In "Murder in the Mews," there is almost a perfect murder, but Poirot unravels it with his usual elegant style. "Personal Call" is a murder mystery wrapped up in a ghost story that haunts the listener at the very end.Resounding and confounding mysteries all!Highly Recommended!Ten Stars!

Love Agatha Christie - always great!
