Three classic Christie short stories are given a modern spin in this first volume of BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisations: Philomel Cottage, Swan Song, Magnolia Blossom.

Philomel Cottage: When Alex and Terry set up their own e-commerce company in Philomel Cottage, everything looks rosy until money goes missing from Alex's account. Soon she is questioning her partner - and, indeed, the cottage itself...

Swan Song: Polina Nazarova is a soprano whose past is dangerously entangled with the present. Given the opportunity to sing her Tosca opposite the arrogant and cruel Andre Breon, it seems that her desire for revenge may prove irresistible.

Magnolia Blossom: Theo is determined to seek happiness with her husband's business rival, Vincent. Having fled London for Paris, however, she soon learns of Richard's financial collapse - and discovers that rather more than just his job is at stake.

These are non-Marple/Poirot stories.
