Publisher's Summary

Recently, there had been some strange goings on at Styles St Mary. Evelyn, constant companion to old Mrs Inglethorp, had stormed out of the house muttering something about "a lot of sharks". And with her, something indefinable had gone from the atmosphere. Her presence had spelt security; now the air seemed rife with suspicion and impending evil.

Hugh Fraser - amazing

Hugh Fraser's 'Papa Poirot' never fails to crack me up :) I promise you won't regret getting stuck into this series.

The beginning of a legend.

For me, Poirot is the greatest fictional detective. Now you can enjoy his first outing supported by a great performance!

Enjoyable.

I found this book to be a pleasant way to spend a quiet Sunday afternoon, in the garden.

Agatha you genius

What a great start to the legacy of Poirot. And the skills of a genius like Agatha to bring him to life. Well narrated and enjoy!

It's not her best.

I adore Fraser and his reading of Christie. What I didn't really enjoy was the predictable ending of this one. It left me feeling a little bit mift, but Poirot was hilarious in this one.
