Agatha Christie - Appointment With Death



Among the towering red cliffs of Petra, like some monstrous swollen Buddha, sat the
corpse of Mrs Boynton. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist was the only sign of the
fatal injection that had killed her. With only 24 hours available to solve the mystery,
Hercule Poirot recalled a chance remark he'd overheard back in Jerusalem: 'You see,
don't you, that she's got to be killed?' Mrs Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable
woman he'd ever met.

Agatha Christie - Hickory Dickory Dock



Fraser, who played Captain Hastings, the sidekick for arch Belgian detective Hercule
Poirot in the PBS Mystery series, now performs the entire cast in Christie's 1955
mystery. Fraser's Poirot is derivative of the stellar performance of the series' star,
David Suchet; nevertheless, Fraser gives Christie's work his own imprimatur. Poirot is
absent much of the time in this tale of kleptomania, malice and murder set at a boarding
house for students. Add to the mix a number of students from England, a temperamental
Greek landlady and an Italian house staff, and one must conclude that Fraser is some
sort of magician to keep all the players sorted out as they converge in the common room.
Not to be missed among the clamoring voices is Christie's narrative, from which Fraser
manages to wring every wry drop. The producers at the Mystery Masters division of the
Audio Partners were smart to hire Fraser to record this classic, and listeners will
find it a delightful romp that passes all too quickly.

Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders



Hugh Fraser will be familiar to listeners from the excellent PBS "Mystery" adaptations
of Hercule Poirot novels in which he played the intrepid Hastings. Consequently, he
makes a wonderful narrator here. These Audio Editions Mysteries cannot be recommended
highly enough for quality of material and great performances at affordable prices.
In this complicated maze of a mystery, people are dying in alphabetical order. Poirot
knows there must be a method to this madness and digs deep to uncover a motive.
Fraser is perfection itself at painting the tiny portraits of diverse individuals.
Christie ties the whole canvas together to tell a complete story. To enter a world she
has created is to escape your own for at least awhile, and, as is the case with any
great vacation, you'll be longing for the next time you can get away . . . with murder.

A visionary analysis of how the politics of fear, secrecy, cronyism, and blind faith has combined with the degration of the public sphere to create an environment dangerously hostile to reason.

At the time George W. Bush ordered American forces to invade Iraq, 70 percent of Americans believed Saddam Hussein was linked to 9/11. Voters in Ohio, when asked by pollsters to list what stuck in their minds about the campaign, most frequently named two Bush television ads that played to fears of terrorism.

We live in an age when the thirty-second television spot is the most powerful force shaping the electorate's thinking, and America is in the hands of an administration less interested than any previous administration in sharing the truth with the citizenry. Related to this and of even greater concern is this administration's disinterest in the process by which the truth is ascertained, the tenets of fact-based reasoning-first among them an embrace of open inquiry in which unexpected and even inconvenient facts can lead to unexpected conclusions.

How did we get here? How much damage has been done to the functioning of our democracy and its role as steward of our security? Never has there been a worse time for us to lose the capacity to face the reality of our long-term challenges, from national security to the economy, from issues of health and social welfare to the environment. As The Assault on Reason shows us, we have precious little time to waste.

Gore's larger goal in this book is to explain how the public sphere itself has evolved into a place hospitable to reason's enemies, to make us more aware of the forces at work on our own minds,and to lead us to an understanding of what we can do, individually and collectively, to restore the rule of reason and safeguard our future. Drawing on a life's work in politics as well as on the work of experts across a broad range of disciplines, Al Gore has written a farsighted and powerful manifesto for clear thinking.
