À propos de ce contenu audio
Sheila Webb expected to find a respectable blind lady waiting for her at 19 Wilbraham Crescent - not the body of a middle-aged man sprawled across the living room floor. But when old Miss Pebmarsh denies sending for her in the first place, or of owning all the clocks that surround the body, it's clear that they are going to need a very good detective.
"This crime is so complicated that it must be quite simple," declares Hercule Poirot. But there's a murderer on the loose, and time is ticking away.

The fascinating first half clearly results from a conscious effort on her part to introduce various elements to be in sync with changing times while remaining in continuity with her multiple previous works.
Thus, the main characters are new and a generation younger than an aging Hercule Poirot. Also, various references are made to matters such as the Cold War, space travel and nuclear weapons.
As usual, the crime to be resolved is multi-faceted and suspects are many and diverse.
Sadly, the second half of the novel is not of the same quality. In fact, many readers may find the conclusion quite underwhelming.
This is compounded by a frequent shift between an omniscient narrator and the main character’s « journal ». In contrast to colonel Hastings who narrates many other Poirot stories with the explicit intent of making them known to the public, there is no explanation as to why this « journal » is written and published in pieces inserted into someone else’s writings.
In the audio version, Hugh Fraser does an impeccable job.
