Bookseller recommendation
“This stand-alone Agatha Christie novel, in which Inspector Battle makes a brief appearance, is read to excellent effect by the splendid actress Gemma Whelan. You may know her from Game of Thrones or Upstart Crow, but by the end of this book you will know her as every one of the many characters who make an appearance in Wychwood—all of whom receive seamless individualized treatment from her reading. The story is one of Christie's intriguing confections, and even without her more familiar detectives leading the reader through the events, the puzzle is rewarding as it unfolds—a surprisingly spooky take on a cozy village murder. Gemma Whelan's reading is a great way to enjoy this often-overlooked offering.”

“Murder Is Easy is beautiful work of clever mystery and thrill by the original queen of the genre. Christie's easy conversational tone and well-paced build-up in action are as fun to listen to now as it must have been to read back in the day. It's always fun to read a good Poirot or Mrs. Marple plot, but I think she really shines with her one-off impromptu detectives, and especially so in the calmly clever Luke and daringly sharp Bridget. And, of course, the brilliant, well-styled narration of Gemma Whelan just caps it off perfectly and makes you want to keep listening for hours on end.”

“The audio version of one of Christie's lesser known works, Murder Is Easy is just the ticket for listening during a pandemic. The magnificent reader manages 15-plus voices, giving character and individuality to each. Also, the mystery is set in a small English village, and the retired police detective gets help from Marple-esque little old ladies. Delicious escapism.”

A quiet English village is plagued by a fiendish serial killer in Queen of Mystery Agatha Christie’s classic thriller, Murder is Easy.
Luke Fitzwilliam does not believe Miss Pinkerton’s wild allegation that a multiple murderer is at work in the quiet English village of Wychwood and that her local doctor is next in line.
But within hours, Miss Pinkerton has been killed in a hit-and-run car accident. Mere coincidence? Luke is inclined to think so—until he reads in the Times of the unexpected demise of Wychwood’s Dr. Humbleby.…
Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her books have sold more than a billion copies in English and another billion in a hundred foreign languages. She died in 1976, after a prolific career spanning six decades.
