Orson Wells is back in this radio presentation of a short story by Agatha Christy.
A married couple spend their honeymoon in a jungle paradise. Memories of the last week in London begin showing up to ruin the picture, as the listener is clued in through flashback. A dark story of murder.
Back on the island, the young bridegroom shows signs of health problems. Threads from the beautiful tapestry of those honeymoon moments unravel. A diary is found. Secrets are out. Artificial fronts, and posturing spring into the relationships.
Where is all this going? This is a story by Agatha Christy, so you know murder has to be involved. As mistrust creeps in, desperation grows, suspense builds. Has this bride married a bluebeard? Will he be the type to abuse her? Will she end up dead?
Hysteria reigns, but all the plot twists aren’t in until the last moment.
