Three of Agatha Christie's most enjoyable stories, revamped for radio. In "Philomel Cottage," everything looks rosy when Alex and Terry set up their own e-commerce company in Philomel Cottage, until money goes missing from Alex's account. Soon she is questioning her partner--and, indeed, the cottage itself. In "Swan Song," Polina Nazarova is a soprano whose past is dangerously entangled with the present. Given the opportunity to sing her Tosca opposite the arrogant and cruel Andre Breon, it seems that her desire for revenge may prove irresistible. "Magnolia Blossom" sees Theo determined to seek happiness with her husband's business rival, Vincent. Having fled London for Paris, however, she soon learns of Richard's financial collapse--and discovers that rather more than just his job is at stake. Without the help of Poirot or Marple, the protagonists must be the masters of their own fate in these suspenseful mysteries with a twist in the tale.2 CDs. 1 hr 30 mins.

Magnolia Blossom has been updated, but I think has not been greatly changed, going by the plot summaries I've found online.
Swan Song has been significantly re-written, but in a way that preserves the basic point of the plot. I suspect that the modernisation is going to annoy a lot of readers, but for me it worked well.
In hindsight, I'd have probably enjoyed this CD set more if Philomel Cottage had been last rather than first of the three plays. It annoyed me so much that it rather put me off the other two. I'm in two minds as to whether the set would have worked better for someone who was already familiar with the stories - I think I would have got on better with Philomel Cottage had I already known the story, but that the alterations to Swan Song might have been irritating. Overall, I don't really regret spending the time to listen to this set, but I'm glad I only paid remainder price for it. and am disinclined to listen to it again. ( )
