About this listen

A classic Agatha Christie short story, available individually for the first time on audio.

When civilian life proves too dull for Major Wilbrahams he contacts Parker Pyne in order to escape his boredom. Pyne’s assistant arranges a chance meeting with the beautiful Freda Clegg and the two join forces, but on leaving for Africa they encounter more than they had bargained for.

Pleasantly diverting. Made me smile. Listened with my 17 year old son, we both enjoyed.
