This Is A New Release Of The Original 1918 Edition.

A BBC Radio full-cast dramatization starring Peter Sallis as the great Belgian detective. Tyrannical millionaire Simeon Lee has been estranged from most of his family for years. But now, on Christmas Eve, the old man calls them all together once more. Before they can discover his motivation, they find him lying in a pool of blood, his throat cut. But it is the strangest thing--the door has been locked from the inside and there is no trace of the murderer. With so many possible suspects, it is lucky for Superintendent Sugden that the Chief Constable has his old friend Hercule Poirot staying with him. It seems to be an impossible case. But, as Poirot knows only too well, things aren't always as they seem.

Histoire ténue, roman profond. L’histoire : Alain se marie. Il emmène sa chatte dans l’appartement conjugal. Camille, son épouse, en éprouve une jalousie qui rapidement la submerge. Alain devra choisir. Le roman : Alain ne peut supporter la force, la vitalité que manifeste sa jeune épouse, ni le « monde moderne » qu’elle représente. Camille heurte la pudeur d’Alain, « une pudeur d’homme presque toujours plus délicate, plus sincère que la nôtre», dit ailleurs Colette - qui aurait pu intituler ce roman La Pure et l’Impure. « Il y avait dans ce sujet matière à deux cents lignes. Colette l’a développé en deux cents pages. Le miracle est qu’on ne songe pas à s’en plaindre. Son beau génie sensuel a transposé l’anecdote. Il en a fait le roman d’une cristallisation amoureuse qui échoue, d’une intimité conjugale qui rate » (André Billy).
