Black Coffee
Adapted from a play by Charles Osbourne
Black Coffee was Agatha Christie's first playscript, originally performed in 1930 and made into a now rarely-seen film the following year.
Now Charles Osborne, author of The Life and Crimes of Agatha Christie, has adapted the play into a full-length novel. Combining her typically beguiling plot and sparkling dialogue with his own faithful narrative, he has produced a novel that will endure for as long as any of Agatha Christie's books.
Sir Claud Amory has discovered the formula for a powerful new explosive, which is stolen by one of his large household of relatives and friends. Locking everyone in the library, Sir Claud switches off the lights to allow the thief to replace the formula on the table, no questions asked. When the lights come on, he is dead, and Hercule Poirot - with assistance from Hastings and Inspector Japp - has to unravel a tangle of family feuds, old flames and suspicious foreigners to find the killer and prevent a global catastrophe.
Read by John Moffatt (BBC Radio 4's Hercule Poirot) 4 tapes unabridged
Approx. 4 hours 30 mins listening

Nemesis
Read by Joan Hickson
Joan HicksonMiss Marple was more than a little surprised when she received a letter from a friend who had died only a week earlier. His letter urged her to investigate a crime - but he gave no details as to who was involved…
'let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an everlasting stream' he quoted.
They were fine words, but Miss Marple could hardly see how they applied to herself. And yet her late friend had christened her Nemesis…
Recorded in 1995 on location at Joan Hickson's home in Essex

The Moving Finger
See Review by Martin Edwards - creator of the highly acclaimed, Liverpool based Harry Devlin Mysteries
A Miss Marple murder mystery.
Read by Joan Hickson
Lymstock was a town with more than its share of shameful secrets - a town where even a sudden outbreak of anonymous hate-mail caused only a minor stir.
But all of that changed when one of the recipients, Mrs Symmington, committed suicide. Her final note said 'I can't go on'. Only Miss Marple Questioned the coroner's verdict of suicide. Was this the work of a poison-pen? Or of a poisoner?
Running time approx. 5 and a half hours. 4 tapes. Unabridged.
'Beyond all doubt the puzzle in The Moving Finger is fit for experts' The Times
