Towards Zero

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Hugh Fraser

An explosive love triangle, a formidable matriarch and a house party of enemies. All drawn inexorably … Towards Zero.

Now Anjelica Huston and a star-studded cast feature in a brand new BBC adaptation of Agatha Christie's tense, ingenious novel. Read it before you see it!

What is the connection between a failed suicide attempt, a wrongful accusation of theft against a schoolgirl, and the romantic life of a famous tennis player?

To the casual observer, apparently nothing. But when a houseparty gathers at Gull’s Point, the seaside home of an elderly widow, earlier events come to a dramatic head.

It’s all part of a carefully paid plan – for murder…

Another solid story

This is in general a great Agatha Christie story, with intrigue and plot twists which are laid out for you see in subtle ways. The only issue with the story is it feels like Christie needed to wrap it up to get it off to the publisher's quickly and just needed to finish it after the murder had been resolved, leaving you a bit of a taste in your mouth around the last few pages. But all in all a very good story.
