About this listen

Complete and Unabridged Hercule Poirot Mystery

Read by David Suchet.

Sir George and Lady Stubbs, the hosts of a village fête, hit upon the novel idea of staging a mock murder mystery. In good faith, Ariadne Oliver, the well known crime writer, agrees to organise their murder hunt.

Despite weeks of meticulous planning, at the last minute Ariadne calls her friend Hercule Poirot for his expert assistance. Instinctively, she senses that something sinister is about to happen…

Beware – nobody is quite what they seem!

Critic Reviews

"The solution is of the colossal ingenuity we have been conditioned to expect." (Times Literary Supplement)

"The infallibly original Agatha Christie has come up, once again, with a new and highly ingenious puzzle-construction." (New York Times)

David Suchet *is* Hercule Poirot. There's nothing more to say about that, of course.
And the story is excellent, a classic Christie mystery which left me guessing till the last minute - I usually have at least some of it figured out half way through, but not this one.

On the other hand, two stars for Production - the editing was pretty bad - with gaps where there shouldn't be one and no gaps where there definitely should!!
But if you can get past that, this is definitely worth getting

Classic excellent Christie.
