The Spanish Shawl: A writer is looking for a story idea to write a mystery. He comes up with, THE MYSTERY OF THE SECOND CUCUMBER, a garden mystery. But before he could begin to write the story, he receives a phone call from a foreign woman who says... "Cucumber." In going to meet her he finds himself wrapped up in a "real" cucumber mystery...

Of course Agatha Christie is a favorite of mine. The audio of these short stories are wonderful! I stumbled across this one at my local library. It had a cast of voices and sound effects.You can't go wrong listening to, or reading anything by Christie.

Some questions left unanswered, the mastery has been left a mystery. Christie achieves her purpose by leaving the audience hanging. If the reader wants more, then the reader has been entertained.- M. Jarvis, BDH
