Free Audiobook - The Case of the Missing Will

The AudioFile Magazine, BBC Audiobooks America and Audible.com are celebrating Agatha Christie Week and part of that includes a free download of The Case of the Missing Will, read by David Suchet. This is a short story, 21 minutes in length, so easy to listen to in on session, whether on a commute or working out.

Poirot receives an unusual request for help from a Miss Violet Marsh, who was orphaned as a child and went to live with her peculiar Uncle Andrew. He died a month ago, leaving a will with a strange clause. Marsh has given instructions that his "clever" niece is allowed to live in his house for one month and in that time she has to "prove her wits" and find his second will. If at the end of that time she hasn't, all his worldly goods go to charitable institutions and she will be left with nothing. Can Poirot help her?

You'll get a link via email that will take you to Audible.com to get the free story (the signup page says it is limited to US residents, which means you'll need a US based Audible account; you can create an account then, if you don't have one). When you get ready to download, it looks like you can choose the traditional Audible format or a new enhanced format. The Kindle2 and KindleDX are amongst the supported devices (as are newer Ipods and the Sansa Fuze; the Sansa Clip Plus isn't on the list, but it technically isn't available yet, even if I have had mine for two weeks, now!

While you are there, you might want to pick up President Obama's 9/09/09 Health Care Address to Congress, if you missed it when it aired live (or you just wanted to listen again for yourself, rather than be told what he said by the media). It's also a free download.
