    <![CDATA[While playing golf, Bobby Jones and Dr. Thomas discover a dying man at the base of the cliff. The man manages to get out the words &quot;Why didn't they ask Evans?&quot; before he dies. Bobby is in a hurry to keep an appointment, so he asks a passerby to stay with the body. Just days later, he meets up with childhood friend Lady Frances (&quot;Frankie&quot;) Derwent. A few days after the inquest, Bobby is drugged when someone slips morphine into his beer. Remembering things now that don't seem to match up about the death, Bobby decides to investigate the matter further and Frankie immediately agrees to help. The two of them are soon hard at work to discover the murderer of the dead man, and they soon must also protect themselves as they find their own lives in danger. Actress Emilia Fox reads this vintage Christie mystery with dramatic panache.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[A great Agatha Christie romp. I watched the Masterpiece Mystery! version in the Marple series (which I really enjoy, although all the Marple's are a little dark).<br/><br/>The book doesn't involve Marple, which is all the better. It moved fast and was a great weekend read.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Was it a misstep that sent the handsome stranger plummeting to his death from a cliff? Or something more sinister? Fun-loving adventurers Bobby Jones and Lady Frances Derwent's suspicions are certainly aroused—especially since the man's dying words were so peculiar: Why didn't they ask Evans? Bobby and Frankie would love to know. Unfortunately, asking it of the wrong people have sent the amateur sleuths running for their lives—on a wild and deadly pursuit to discover who Evans is, what it was he wasn't asked, and why the mysterious inquiry has put their own lives in mortal danger...]]>
