About this listen

While playing an erratic round of golf, Bobby Jones slices his ball over the edge of a cliff. His ball is lost, but on the rocks below he finds the crumpled body of a dying man. The man opens his eyes and with his last breath says, "Why didn't they ask Evans?"

Haunted by those words, Bobby and his vivacious companion, Frankie, set out to solve a mystery that will bring them into mortal danger....

This title was previously published as The Boomerang Clue.

I was very close to not getting this book because of all the hate on the narrator. It’s all very misplaced. The story is great, narration is not at all distracting or whatever else, totally worth it.

Narrator is completely fine!

I love this story, many characters and non obvious plot. However this audio book version is very painful to listen to. Emilia Fox is a terrible narrator and tried too hard to do different accents and voices such that they come off strange and sometimes shrill. Sometimes her voice was also hoarse. I wish Hugh Fraser had narrated this instead.

Great story but painful to listen to Emilia

I've read most of Agatha Christie's books and this is one of her best! Very nicely read.

One of my favorites!

Love the naivete of the main characters! No pompous gray cells here. Just bungling luck.

A big Agatha Christie fan, I had not read (or listened to) Why Didn't They Ask Evans? I thoroughly enjoyed this fun whodunit from the queen of mysteries. The narration was superb, the pacing of the novel excellent, and the characters memorable. Great fun!

Delightful, Classic Agatha Christie

The men's voices all sounded like a woman trying to sound like a man. Kind of distracting at times, but overall fairly well done.A very very fun story.
