Join The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society for an Agatha Christie double-feature! The Society presents two audio plays by the grand dame of mystery, performed in the style of an old-time radio broadcast, including vintage commercials and live sound effects:“Philomel Cottage” from Suspense: When newlywed Alix finds a mysterious entry in her husband’s diary, their idyllic marriage turns suddenly sinister. A vintage tale of suspense based on one of Agatha Christie’s earliest stories. “The Veiled Lady” from A Toast to Murder: Lady Millicent Vaughn is being blackmailed and only one man can save her – Hercule Poirot! A classic Christie tale adapted for audio by Joshua English Scrimshaw and starring Tim Uren as the great Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot.
