Agatha Christie

View all Agatha Christie Audio Books at audiobookquest.com.
I have to tell you about this wonderful website I have found, audiobookquest.com. Summer is always a bad time because of my weight issues being a 40 years old woman. Dieting has never worked for me and after years of denial i finally admitted that exercise is the only way to lose weight.I decided i would walk myself into that new bikini. Well, maybe not a bikini but something that looks suspiciously like a bathing suit. I find just walking or working out to be a bore and I get tired of listening to the same old tunes on my MP3 player.

Then I remembered that in the past I listened to Books on Tape with my children. I actually enjoyed it and wondered if they had started selling books on CD or even MP3’s that were available for me buy for my MP3 unit. I got on the internet and found audiobookquest.com. Apparently they had a whole library of recorded books for download. I was amazed at the variety of books offered, fiction and non-fiction.

I started by checking out my favorite author, Agatha Christie and found many audio books. I figured that Agatha and I would walk our way into that summer bathing suit. The audiobookquest website makes it easy for you to purchase your download and I have the ease and convenience of shopping from home in my jammies.

My first book downloaded from the Audiobook Quest is “4:50 From Paddington”. Most of Agatha Christie’s books take place in the United Kingdom and this one involves a train. Elspeth Magillicuddy witnesses a murder by chance on another train passing slowly by.

Elspeth is a reasonable woman and not prone to wild fancies but that won’t matter to most people. She thinks to herself that they will think she is stark raving mad. Still she feels she must do her duty and report what she has seen. So Elspeth writes a note to the stationmaster and assumes that this will put an end to the matter. But will it be the end or will something come of it? Did her eyes deceive her or did she really see someone being murdered.

Well I will have to walk and listen to see what happens. I love trains and although I have never been on one I can experience a train ride through the English countryside. This recording is 6 hours long and although I am not going to be walking for 6 hours I know I will want to listen to it while I am cooking dinner. It seems I will be buying another book from Audiobook Quest soon because I am dying to hear how this one ends.
