Very nice


(5 stars)

A classic. Short and twisty, with all the ends tied up. Good production.


(4 stars)

All very well played roles, of course wonderfully written (being Christie ) however it could have used a narrator of some sort setting the scene in between the parts of the Dramatis Personae (Especially at the very beginning, as it jumps straight into the dialogue without any preamble)

Christie's Unexpected Guest is brilliant. As I read this tale, the unexpected twist of events made it a wonderful read. I enjoyed it.

what a treat to listen to! my only complaint is that it was so short! I would have liked it to be longer.

Quite apropos. The guest was quite unexpected.
