Book Description
Recovering from amnesia, Dr. Arthur Calgary discovers that he alone could have provided an alibi in a scandalous murder trial. It ended in the conviction of Jacko Argyle. The victim was Jacko's own mother, and to make matters worse, he died in prison. But the young man's innocence means that someone else killed the Argyle matriarch, and would certainly kill again to remain in the shadows. Shaded in the moral ambiguity of murder, the provocative psychological puzzler of guilt, vengeance, and blood secrets is among Agatha Christie's personal favorites.
From AudioFile
Mary Argyle seemed like a paragon; since she had no children of her own and lots of money, she persuaded her husband to adopt a varied brood. During the War years, there were many desperate mothers and homeless children. Many years later, she is murdered, and we learn that things were not as genteel as they seemed. Everyone did NOT love Mary, and the suspects are numerous. Veteran narrator Robin Bailey captures the emotions and sounds of an earlier era in this classic Christie title. Fans of nostalgia and Christie should love it. S.G.B.
