The Capture Of Cerberus And The Incident Of The Dogs Ball - Audio Book

Product Description

Details: Two recently-rediscovered Hercule Poirot short stories by Agatha Christie, read by David Suchet. In 2004, a remarkable archive was unearthed at Agatha Christie's family home, Greenway
- 73 of her private notebooks, filled with pencilled jottings & ideas. Hidden within this literary treasure trove were two rare, never-before-published short stories, discovered by archivist John Curran & published in his book " Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks: Fifty Years of Mysteries in the Making". " The Capture of Cerberus" was intended to be the twelfth in her collection of Poirot stories, The Labours of Hercules, but she eventually rewrote it, keeping only the title. In this first, original version, Poirot is holidaying in Geneva, trying to take his mind off the impending war. But a chance meeting with an old acquaintance leads to an investigation involving a Nazi dictator & an enormous hound... " The Incident of the Dog's Ball", probably written in 1933, was reworked as the novel " Dumb Witness" (1937) with a different murderer & motive. In it, Poirot receives a letter from an elderly lady, written two months before & asking for help. Now she is dead, & Poirot is convinced that her beloved terrier Bob holds the key to her death... Ideal for: A worthwhile listen for Agatha Christie fans. Running time approximately: 1 hour 25 minutes. 2 CD's unabridged.
