BY THE PRICKING OF MY THUMBS. (Agatha Christie)

Macbeth's witches uttered the words used in this book's title, and well-chosen they were. The popular detective duo Tommy and Tuppence Beresford reappear after a thirty-year hiatus, still sleuthing in their golden years A visit to Tommy's aged Aunt Ada in a nursing home leads to a convoluted tale involving a mysterious painting, a missing tombstone, and the apparent kidnapping of Tuppence. Classic mystery elements--hidden documents and nice people with shadowy pasts--pop up unexpectedly as the Beresfords bravely pursue the truth. Excellent acting by Samantha Bond rounds out the listen. Bond effortlessly brings the characters to life with seamless voice work.
