#126 The Sittaford Mystery (BBC)

From the mind of Agatha Cristie, the queen of crime fiction, comes The Sittaford Mystery. Inspector Narracott investigates the death of Captain Trevelyan after he's found lying on the floor of his bungalo. To make matters worse there is no phone in Sittaford and a snow storm has made travel impossible. Time is of the essence if the killer is to be found before he or she strikes again. Not one of Christies best stories but it is well produced by the BBC.

From the BBC:
A blizzard has hit England. In the tiny village of Sittaford, on the fringes of Dartmoor, a party of six is gathered in Sittaford House, home of Captain Trevelyan. He has rented the house out for the winter and is staying in a nearby village. As evening draws in, a seance is proposed. But it reveals more than they had anticipated - TREVELYAN DEAD, spells out the board. Slowly the table begins to rock again, spelling out the word M-U-R-D-E-R. Is it true? And who would kill a man who doesn't have an enemy in the world? John Moffatt and Stephen Tompkinson star in a BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of a classic from the Queen of Crime.
