The beautiful, resourceful, and highly intelligent EmilyTrefuses really deserves her own series in the Christie oeuvre, butinstead she appears the one time in this neat little charmer. Emilyarrives on the scene to rescue her neer-do-well fiancé, Jim, whois the prime suspect in the death of his uncle, one CaptainEnderby. The fun comes in when neighbors, pursuing a party game knownas making the table talk, receive a message from beyond:M-U-R-D-E-R! Fine entertainment, that. Nathaniel Parker has a finelynuanced voice that lends itself perfectly to the steadily plodding DCIand the over-the-top-Australians who come over just to see a realwinter. Great fun and an extra little surprise ending. No one does itbetter than Agatha Christie.
