Lomax himself, after hearing perhaps the most bizarre of the revelations that festoon this mystery. In a plot that crowded, it’s little wonder that my title comes from an expostulation by Mr. To be exact, there’s a treasure hunt, two kidnappings, and two and a half murders. Review #3 Audiobook The Secret of Chimneys by Agatha ChristieĪctually, there’s more than one secret at Chimneys, the historic country seat of Lord Caterham and the place of choice whenever George Lomax (of the Foreign Office) wants a rural setting in which to trade state secrets. Hugh Fraser\’s performance is spot on and his voice is very enjoyable listening. The story itself is one of Agatha Christie\’s best, in my opinion. Any additional comments? I highly recommend getting The Secret of Chimneys as an audio book. Especially George Lomax – the politician who thinks he knows everything – his reaction is priceless.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Without giving too much away about the murder mystery, I\’d have to say the scene where they find out who the murderer really is and everyone\’s reactions. He makes it that much more entertaining to listen vs read. Not only does he do several different British accents, but he\’s also great with the American, French, and Baltic area accents. Hugh Fraser\’s ability to use different accents for every character really makes the book come alive in a way you don\’t get if you just read the book. What does Hugh Fraser bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? The accents. A very likeable main character, a murder mystery, and all set at an English house-party…it just comes together for me and keeps me entertained from the very first word to the very last.
His carefree manner vs his secretive nature just draws me in every time. There\’s something about Anthony Cade that I\’ve loved from the first time I read the book. What did you like best about this story? This has always been my favorite novel by Agatha Christie. The Secret of Chimneys would definitely be close to the top, though. Where does The Secret of Chimneys rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far? It\’s difficult to rank this book among the others that I\’ve listened to as they are all such different types of books.
