About this listen

A revolution in the Middle East has a direct and deadly impact upon the summer term at Meadowbank, a picture-perfect girls' school in the English countryside. Prince Ali Yusuf, Hereditary Sheikh of Ramat, whose great liberalizing experiment - hospitals, schools, a Health Service - is coming to chaos, knows that he must prepare for the day of his exile. He asks his pilot and school friend, Bob Rawlinson, to care for a packet of jewels. Rawlinson does so, hiding them among the possessions of his niece, Jennifer Sutcliffe, who is bound for Meadowbank.

Rawlinson is killed before he can reveal the hiding place - or even the fact that he has employed his niece as a smuggler. But someone knows, or suspects, that Jennifer has the jewels. As murder strikes Meadowbank, only Hercule Poirot can restore the peace.

Excellent narrator

I've suffered through robotic narrators and narrators whose attempts to "do" accents and pitches to suit different characters just end up being distracting. Hugh Fraser is the rare narrator who manages to do full justice to every character I this book, even Poirot who is most at risk of ending up as a caricature. I'm especially impressed that a man was able to pull off reading for such a huge cast of mostly female characters with such aplomb...especially schoolgirls. Bravo!
