The recently married Alix Martin is obsessed with a recurring dream of her new husband’s murder. Each time she can see the murderer clearly, and it’s the mild-mannered man she had previously been engaged to, taking his revenge. But, what’s worse is that at the end of the dream she thanks the murderer. Perplexed, Alix tries to calm herself by spending time in the garden of her picturesque cottage. But her gardener confuses her further by wishing her well on her trip to London—a trip which Alix knows nothing about. Now Alix is scared: is the gardener imagining things, or is she?

I've always enjoyed Agatha Christy mysteries and "Philomel Cottage" was no exception. It was well written, with her famous twist at the end. It was a little less than an hour, well spent.

Hugh Fraser did a good job as narrator..

Despite having written hundreds, people tend not to think of Agatha Christie as a short story writer. Too bad because she is cracking at it. This is one of her best. Give it a go.

Why isn’t Agatha Christie known as an actual feminist? Her female characters are so complex and well drawn.

Amazing plot twist, brave, and smart heroine.
