From BBC Radio 4 Extra. Written by Agatha Christie; Full-cast
dramatisation starring John Moffatt as Hercule Poirot, with Julia McKenzie
as Ariadne Oliver.
Following an otherwise-enjoyable literary luncheon, the celebrated crime
novelist Ariadne Oliver is accosted by a particularly formidable woman who
engages her in conversation about one of her many god-daughters, whom
Ariadne hasn't seen since she was a child. She lands a bombshell with
the question 'What I want to know is this: did her mother kill her father,
or was it the father who killed the mother?' Affronted and bewildered by
the assertiveness of this pushy busybody, Ariadneis nevertheless intrigued.
There's only one thing for it. She must contact her old friend Hercule
Poirot. Together they set about unravelling the mystery of a tragedy from
the distant past - provoked in equal measure by hate and love.
