Audiokniha: Členové rozvětvené rodiny Leeových se sjíždějí na staré rodinné sídlo, aby spolu v poklidu anglického venkova oslavili Vánoce. Pozvání od Simeona Leea v nich ale vzbuzuje spíše pochybnosti a znepokojení než radost z příjemného setkání. Proč je chce bezcitný a panovačný milionář vidět? Změnil se snad na stará kolena? Jaké má úmysly? Než mají možnost dozvědět se odpověď, je Simeon Lee zavražděn. Poblíž naštěstí tráví sváteční dny Hercule Poirot, který v dusné atmosféře podezíravosti a vzájemné nevraživosti dokáže vraha nekompromisně usvědčit. „Četba zní přirozeně, herec v patřičných místech zcela samozřejmě zadrhává, pousměje se či přidává povzdechy, a navíc čas od času přihodí francouzskou větičku s přízvukem, za nějž by se nemusel stydět ani skutečný Poirot.“ - naposlech.cz „Hlavica tu jako zručný režisér diriguje , své‘ postavy, aby vytvořil nesmírně vrstevnatý a zajímavý svět, který svého posluchače přiláká a nepustí – až u poslední kapitoly. Bez ohledu na to, víte-li, kdo je vrah.“ - naposlech.cz Agatha Christie (1890–1976) Anglická spisovatelka, nejznámější autorka detektivních příběhů, napsala jen s Herculem Poirotem během své téměř šedesátileté literární kariéry 33 románů a skoro 60 povídek. Vytvořila i postavy jiných detektivů (kromě slečny Marplové třeba tajemného pana Quina či úředníka na penzi Parkera Pynea), ale Poirot zůstává jejím nejznámějším a nejoblíbenějším vyšetřovatelem. Úspěšná byla také jako autorka divadelních her (její Past na myši je vůbec nejdéle hranou divadelní hrou) a pod pseudonymem vydávala romantické příběhy. Neustávající zájem o její dílo potvrzuje také množství už realizovaných či teprve připravovaných adaptací (např. nejnovější filmová verze knihy Vražda v Orient expresu). Lukáš Hlavica (* 1965) Je absolventem herectví na pražské DAMU, kde posledních dvacet let působí jako pedagog. Kromě herectví a výuky se úspěšně věnuje divadelní i divadelní režii. V současné době je kmenovým režisérem Českého rozhlasu. Jako herec působil v Národním i v Divadle na Vinohradech, poté na čtyři roky zakotvil jako režisér v Dejvickém divadle.
