~Welcome to Part Seven of our seventy-fourth audio entertainment in Tales for Our Time. You'll find eight years' worth of our Tales archived here, in handy easy-to-access Netflix-style tile format. (Oh, and we do poetry, too.)
This autumn, we're enjoying The Murder on the Links by Agatha Christie. If you've missed the beginning of our tale because you were too busy fleeing New York, you can start fresh with Part One and have a good old binge-listen.
In tonight's episode Captain Hastings is, as usual, irked by M Poirot's lack of interest in crawling around for clues:
He stopped abruptly. We had reached the drive in front of the house. Suddenly he turned to me.
"My friend, I am about to surprise you—to please you! I have taken your reproaches to heart! We will examine some footprints!"
"Where?"
"In that right-hand bed yonder. M. Bex says that they are the footmarks of the gardener. Let us see if that is so. See, he approaches with his wheelbarrow."
