Agatha Christie: Radio Drama Collection
Three classic BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisations.
The Mysterious Affair at Styles – starring John Moffatt as Hercule Poirot.
A destroyed will, a shattered coffee cup, an old envelope – such are the seemingly unrelated details surrounding the murder of Mrs Inglethorp, mistress of Styles Court. Hercule Poirot, the methodical little Belgian, begins his first – and perhaps most fascinating – investigation.
Murder at the Vicarage – starring June Whitfield as Miss Marple.
In the sleepy little English country village of St Mary Mead, all is not as it seems. Under a seemingly peaceful exterior lurks intrigue, guilt, deception – and murder. Faced with a surfeit of suspects, only the inscrutable Miss Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues.
The Sittaford Mystery – starring John Moffatt and Stephen Tompkinson.
A blizzard has hit England. In the tiny village of Sittaford, on the fringes of Dartmoor, a party of six is gathered in Sittaford House, home of Captain Trevelyan. As evening draws in, a séance is proposed, but it reveals more than they had anticipated as the board spells out – TREVELYAN – DEAD!

The police are trailing for clues, but Miss Jane Marple, spinster of the parish and neighbour to the Vicar and his wife, is following her own line of enquiry.
1 x Non-Series 'The Sittaford Mystery' - 5 people meet for tea in the middle of winter in a large house on Dartmoor. Bored, they start a seance - and the spirits tell them the former owner has been murdered. His best friend is one of the party, and despite the heavy snow storm starting, sets out to see if it's true....
Now on my permanent AC collection shelves.
