    About this audiobook

    Read by Hugh Fraser

    A new Christie mystery combining love, death and melodrama blended together as only Agatha Christie can.

    Gipsy’s Acre was a truly beautiful upland site with views out to sea – and in Michael Rogers it stirred a child-like fantasy.

    There, amongst the dark fir trees, he planned to build a house, find a girl and live happily ever after.

    Yet, as he left the village, a shadow of menace hung over the land. For this was the place where accidents happened. Perhaps Michael should have heeded the locals’ warnings: ‘There’s no luck for them as meddles with Gipsy’s Acre.’

    Michael Rogers is a man who is about to learn the true meaning of the old saying ‘In my end is my beginning…’

      My absolute favourite by Agatha Christie. I didn't see the twist coming, maybe that makes me a bit thick, but I always like to be caught out by a book. Wonderfully dark and sinister.

      I'm ashamed to admit that this is my first Agatha Christie. That said, since Nancy Drew, I was not a mystery reader until about five years ago. I chose this as my first since it was listed as one of her best and the only among that list owned by our library. I didn't see the ending coming and what seemed a relatively tame tale, turned into an incredibly sinister one. The complexity came only at the end and compared to many of the contemporary mysteries I have read, this paled in suspense, writing style, characterization and detail.
    • 4/5
      A lot more sinister than most of Christie's works. It starts off almost dull and very uneventful, but the sense of uneasiness just grows throughout the book, and the twist at the end is brilliant.
    • 2/5
      A horrible story, unusual for Agatha Christie. Very well read by Hugh Fraser
    • 5/5
      Agatha Christie's Endless Night is far more than a great read, a psychological thriller and a riveting mystery: it's one of the most insightfulbooks about a sociopathic predator and his beguiling mask of sanity I have read.
    • 4/5
      An unusual book for Christie as it has almost a Gothic feel that reminded me of du Maurier's "Rebecca". Written in first-person narrative, it follows the meeting and marriage of poor English Mike and weathly American Ellie. The problem is that Ellie has inherited so much money that she can't get free of her greedy relatives and the family lawyers. Well, that's part of the problem...
    • 3/5
      Great fun, wonderful trek in pursuit of a murderer. As ever, I did not guess correctly. But with Christie, it doesn't matter since the fun is in the journey.
    • 5/5
      This was another read for the Agatha Christie summer reading challenge and my favorite so far, It starts out like a Gothic romance novel and turns into a crime book. I did not see the twist at the end, it was surprising to me. When you think back on the events in the book the clues along the way light up in your brain. I don't want to give too much away and spoil the surprise waiting for the reader at the end. This is short book, around 200 pages. It is worth reading it in one siting to get the full effect.
    • 5/5
      Michael Rogers dreams of having a rich, beautiful wife that he can live "happily ever after" with in a wonderful house in the country. Marriage to the fabulously wealthy and gorgeous American heiress, Ellie Guteman, brings Michael as close to his wildest dreams as he can possibly want to get. Michael and Ellie happily purchase Gipsy's Acre and start to build their dream house together. Michael studiously ignores the country gossips who whisper that Gipsy's Acre is a cursed tract of land. That's until a mysterious murderer strikes much too close to Michael's ultimate dream life for his liking.I really enjoyed this story. It was the first time that I had read this book and I give it an A+! It was quite interesting to receive this particular book in the mail - I received it directly from Ireland and opened the package to discover the back cover was written in Chinese. The book was written in English but the synopsis on the back cover was written in Chinese! :) I asked my daughter to "translate" for me and she burst out laughing when she saw it.
    • 4/5
      One of my favourite Agathe Christies. Unlike her other books, where murder is treated as a matter of fact ,routine , event occuring in the lives of ordinary people, in this novel she touches upon the moral dimension, that we have choices..
    • 5/5
      My favourite Christie novel, tense, interesting, no Poirot or Marple in sight and a cracking plot twist at the end. Great stuff from the mistress of crime novels.
    • 5/5
      This is one of Christie's darker, spookier books. There's a good TV film of it. Wonderful narration, as always, from Hugh Fraser.
    • 4/5
      This was the first time that I have read Christie, and despite the old fashioned time of the story, it had me gripped right till the end. I read it quicker than i thought I would, and, and what a suprise ending! I will be reading more from her in future. Hugely enjoyable 
    • 5/5
      The narrator, Michael Rogers, tells us the story of his marriage to Ellie, an American heiress and how they came to build a hose at the cursed Gypsy's Acre. This is very different from Christie's other books, no Miss Marple, Poirot, just a sinister and tragic tale told in simple, poetic prose. Simultaneously lovely and disturbing at the same time.
    • 4/5
      This book came as somewhat of a surprise to me. Originally published in 1967, I think it is a wonderful example of how versatile an author she was. This was not what I had usually come to expect from Agatha Christie, it read rather as if it had come from the pen of Ruth Rendell, much more of a psychological thriller. Michael is a charming, working class fellow who moves from job to job as his interests change. He tells us the story of how he meets, falls in love, and marries a young American heiress. They decide to make their home in the English countryside and proceed to built their dream home. Unfortunately the piece of property they build on appears to have a built in gypsy curse. The action builds slowly, the murder doesn’t happen until the last third of the book As Michael’s story unfolds, his suspicions and paranoia are first turned on one character, then another, until the truth is undeniable. I must admit I had figured out what the final truth was going to be, but I still enjoyed the ride. Endless Night is not one of Agatha Christie‘s traditional mysteries, but certainly shows us why she was called the “Queen of Crime”.
