Young Adult in tone.
This was an interesting story.
The protagonists are all young people, and the voices are read as such.
Basically infantile rich kids, (in their twenties(?) with servants). Their naivety comes across in the their reactions and the dialogue.
I didn't mind the reading, but she has some trouble with male voices, maybe trying sometimes too hard to do deep voices of older men.
I like Hugh Fraser, but after listening to a few in a row I find his "exotic woman" and "Scotland Yard man" quite often sound practically Identical.
This reading has a faster pace than seems typical for the Christie novels i have heard read.

Great recording - Emilia Fox and Hugh Fraser are so well suited to Agatha Christie!
This is such a classic Agatha Christie story and I find Emila Fox's patrician tones, including all the character voices, just hits the spot!

Never let this woman read again!
Not one of Agatha's best books, but it still could have been an entertaining listen. However the reading was appalling! Fox put on ludicrous voices for each character, that would have been more suited to a children's book about talking animals.
