Story
A foggy night... a lonely country house... and a woman with a gun in her hand quietly surveying the dead body of her husband. It looked like a straightforward case of murder. Or was it? As the ghosts of an old wrong begin to emerge from the past, the case begins to look anything but straightforward... First staged at the Duchess Theatre in London in 1958, this play ran for 604 performances and is as gripping and ingenious as you would expect from the Queen of Crime.

This collection of 25 Hercule Poirot adventures is compiled from short stories written by Agatha Christie for The Sketch magazine in 1923 from March to December. In these stories, including "The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim", "The Veiled Lady", and "The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb", the eccentric private detective slowly and surely solves mysteries involving jealousy, revenge, and greed. These stories were well-received at the time and cemented Christie's reputation as the worthy successor to Arthur Conan Doyle.

Hercule Poirot made his first public appearance in 1920 at the age, one guesses, of about 60. He finally breathed his metaphorical last in 1975 at the age of maybe 75 or 80. And in that short span of time — either 55 years or about 20, depending on how you count it — Poirot became one of England’s most profitable and ubiquitous export commodities.

Delightful Gem
How wonderful it was to find this gem. As a lifelong reader of all things Christie this bit was a surprise. I’ve listened to most of the 1980’s BBC radio shows with John Moffat and loved every one of them. So, to now have this gathering of a few older shows just completes my collection.

In context, I can see how this is highly regarded
What did you like best about Agatha Christie: The Lost Plays? What did you like least?
I like the play about the train the most, and her interviews. I least liked the time in between, but not by much.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I wanted more.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
They bring that "radio play" feeling which to me is always engrossing regardless of the topic.
Was Agatha Christie: The Lost Plays worth the listening time?
Definitely.
Any additional comments?
Could do with a little less narration in between. I couldn't wait for those parts to finish

What a gem!
Would you listen to Agatha Christie: The Lost Plays again? Why?
Yes, but not for the plays. The interviews of Agatha Christie and various actors involved in her plays was priceless!
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
BBC Dramatisations are always very well done.

For die hard fans only
I'm an avid fan of Christie, especially the BBC radio adaptations. Sadly this is an uneven collection. Two lost plays that sound like they were written on a rainy afternoon and discarded. They rank right up there with high schoolers campfire ghost stories. These plays were lost for a reason! There's also a 1955 adaptation of "Murder in the Mews." It's a good story but the production is nothing special and true fans are probably already familiar with it. The package is rounded out with some recordings of Agatha Christie from the 1950s which are quite interesting along with an interview with a cast member from "Murder in the Mews" that is quite good although rather unrelated to Christie.
