DEAD MAN'S FOLLY

Listeners are sure to enjoy this lively dramatization of one of Christie’s classic Poirot novels. The plot moves along mainly through conversations between the perfectly cast characters, aided by snippets of music and descriptive sound effects. John Moffatt gives the great detective just the right touch of a Belgian accent as he assists in a murder hunt party staged by the delightfully befuddled novelist, Ariadne Oliver. When the pretend victim is found to be truly murdered, everyone involved is a suspect, creating a familiar whodunit with a surprisingly dark ending. This is fun audio theater for anyone—perhaps even more fun for those who are familiar with the plot and these beloved characters. M.M.G.
