The Witness for the Prosecution

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Christopher Lee

When wealthy spinster Emily French is found murdered, suspicion falls on Leonard Vole, the man to whom she hastily bequeathed her riches before she died. Leonard assures the investigators that his wife, Romaine Heilger, can provide them with an alibi. However, when questioned, Romaine informs the police that Vole returned home late that night covered in blood. During the trial, Ms. French’s housekeeper, Janet, gives damning evidence against Vole, and, as Romaine’s cross-examination begins, her motives come under scrutiny from the courtroom. One question remains, will justice prevail?

Short but clever!

I quite enjoyed this little gem. Plenty of fun twists that I didn’t see coming. Well worth the read for Agatha Christie fans.

CHILLING!

An exercise in concise writing, Agatha Christie shows us that you don't need hundreds of pages to tell an intriguing, compelling and engaging story. When a man is accused of murdering an old, wealthy woman, his attorney investigates the case...to chilling results.

Christopher Lee's deep, sultry voice was absolutely perfect for this story.

Agatha Christie = Fantastic

It goes without saying that this is an excellent story, written by Christie, after all, but what a fun treat having it performed by Christopher Lee! This short story is a wonderful way to spend an hour, and you won't guess the ending!

Sir Christopher is awesome.

Christopher Lee is riveting. Great performance of a clever Christie story. Great for a quick listen.
