Along with Crooked House, Ordeal by Innocence was Agatha Christie's favourite of her own works. It is easy to see why. Eschewing the traditional detective format, it takes an original idea - how the innocent suffer more than the guilty when a crime goes unsolved - and explores it to the full within a family where everyone has a motive and means to have done it.

  • Hi Rick,

    Is there any chance of re-uping this file, and also Murder Is Easy, if you have it?

    I have had a disaster with a HDD and have lost 14 years worth of stuff. Most I have got back via a software program but a lot of files are permanently lost or damaged..

    Cheers,

    Michael

    • Hi Mike,

      I am very grateful for the links to these BBC radio plays.

      I lost a lot of my Agatha Christie collection, but thanks to the generosity of the members of this Group, I have been able to replenish my stock, so to speak.

      Again, many thanks Mike.
