I like Agatha Christie, so why not listen to her then, I thought.
The text is taken from one of her novels, and I guess it is a crime novel because mostly of the text is about someone who is guilty and alibi over and over again ;). I like to read and listen to books like this, because the language and how they write is so unusual from how books are written nowadays. Especially the sentences, they are long and a bit reversed. They are not difficult, but very different from the English I'm used to. Especiellay the school English, and it's such a wide vocabulary
But it was a great fun and I learned many new words that I can use in my texts :)
Anyway, I did like the text and it is written in a special but “beautiful” way.
I usually don't read this kind of books but when I do I read books by Jane Austen and Agatha Christie or Shakespeare because all of them have such a clean and pure writing technique. Why I choose this novel is because Agatha Christie was an awesome and truly cool lady.

The one who narrated the story was Wanda McCaddon and I find her very annoying :(
She had this weird voice and when she made the French accent it made CRAZY!!
That was my short review C:
