Publisher's Summary

Actor David Suchet recalls his experience of playing Agatha Christie's world-famous detective, Hercule Poirot, for almost a quarter of a century.

In the summer of 2013 David Suchet filmed his final scenes as Hercule Poirot. After 24 years in the role, he will have played the character in every story that Agatha Christie wrote about him (bar one, deemed unfilmable) and he will bid adieu to a role and a character that have changed his life.

In Poirot and Me, David Suchet tells the story of how he secured the part, with the blessing of Agatha Christie's daughter, and set himself the task of presenting the most authentic Poirot that had ever been filmed. David Suchet is uniquely placed to write the ultimate companion to one of the world's longest running television series.

Peppered with anecdotes about filming, including many tales of the guest stars who have appeared over the years, the book is essential for Poirot fans all over the world.

Poirot Lives

David Suchet's narration was very good. Loved hearing all the inside information regarding the filming of all the Poirot episodes. Even shed a few tears. A definite must for Poirot fans.

Quite interesting

David Suchet is a marvelous narrator blessed with a perfect voice. He sounds so like the gentleman I always imagined Poirot to be, and was an incredible choice to play the character. "David is more Poirot than Poirot himself". :)
The book was a bit long for me since it reflects on the many and various books and short stories David has brought to the screen.
Nevertheless it is interesting to hear it from his side and I'll watch the films with increased interest now.
