Story
This collection of 25 Hercule Poirot adventures is compiled from short stories written by Agatha Christie for The Sketch magazine in 1923 from March to December. In these stories, including "The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim", "The Veiled Lady", and "The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb", the eccentric private detective slowly and surely solves mysteries involving jealousy, revenge, and greed. These stories were well-received at the time and cemented Christie's reputation as the worthy successor to Arthur Conan Doyle.

Story
In appearance Hercule Poirot hardly resembled an ancient Greek hero. Yet, reasoned the detective, like Hercules he had been responsible for ridding society of some of its most unpleasant monsters. So, in the period leading up to his retirement, Poirot made up his mind to accept just 12 more cases: his self-imposed "labours". Each would go down in the annals of crime as a heroic feat of deduction.

Butchered AC classics
Entertaining performances but the experience was marred by the absolute butchering of AC's classic stories. Some adaptation or changes is ok but these were bent and twisted to be 'modern' and somewhat 'fashionable' to a crude degree.
Some performances overdone and lots of erratic screaming that really wasn't necessary.
Great if you are not familiar with AC's work. Steer clear of you are.

Too Little Provided
I love myself some Agatha Christie Mysteries. I try, but I haven't won a case yet! This production didn't do her justice. It didn't include enough of the mystery to make it enjoyable. It skipped too much. Just didn't help connect the dots. More frustrating than enjoyable.

Not what I was expecting
The acting and narration were great. The stories simply weren't interesting. Each mystery lasted about a half hour, and was populated by 2 to 4 characters - making the plot easy to decipher. In addition to this, plots were updated for modern consumption (cell phones and internet). I was not impressed.

Not expected
Seemed to be more focused on underlying sexual tensions than the actual mystery plot. Disappointed to be halfway through one and it switched to focus on the main characters bedroom activities, but it wasn't even clear what the mystery was supposed to be in the first place. Wish I could un-buy this book. Did not have the standard that I'd expect with something using Agatha Christie's name.

Terrible way to treat Agatha Christie’s work
Agatha Christie created such great stories, I don’t know why they had to ‘update’ them in such a crude, ham fisted manner. They kept the general style of talking but just stuffed a few ‘current’ references in e.g. George Bush and the war in Afghanistan. It doesn’t work at all and wasn’t clear before purchasing the audio book that the stories had been spoiled in this way. They have also ramped up the misery in the sad bits so instead of feeling that you have enjoyed the adventure you are left feeling rather gloomy, especially if you listen to a few at a time.

Repackaged version of 2010 dramatisations
I was a bit disappointed in finding out that this is just a repackaged version of the BBC dramatisations that came out in 2010 . Some of them are good but some of them are just fair . Perhaps it is because I just didn't like some of the stories . The only good thing about this audio is that you get all 12 stories at once instead of having to purchase them separately on this same site .

Worst & Embarrassing Christie Interpretations
These are the worst interpretations of Agatha Christie plays I have ever heard. These are so bad they are an insult to the great playwright. I love Christie. I have all the collections ever made, but these pitiful productions are the pits! childish amateur comedies! Work like this ruins the Agatha Christie prestige.
