One of Agatha Christie’s most loved mysteries, Evil Under the Sun remains one of her best and most delightfully cryptic murder mysteries ever, read by Poirot himself – David Suchet.

It was not unusual to find the beautiful bronzed body of the sun-loving Arlena Stuart stretched out on a beach, face down. Only, on this occasion, there was no sun… she had been strangled.

Ever since Arlena’s arrival at the resort, Hercule Poirot had detected sexual tension in the seaside air. But could this apparent ‘crime of passion’ have been something more evil and premeditated altogether?

This is one of my favorites from Ms Christie. David Suchet is amazing as narrator.

Just brilliant, again.

Fantastic as always, this one keeps you guessing. Who'd have thought someone so beautiful could be susceptible to so much evil? Fantastic, thanks Poirot!

Always a fun adventure.

Having David Sucker act as Poirot is wonderful. You feel immersed in the story. Agatha Christie has all these red herrings and nuances to the plot it makes this Audible great to listen to.

Historical Buff.

The narration is really hard to listen to. The accent when the narrator does the Poirot character is really thick and hard to understand . The voices he puts of for the females are jarring. Oh and the characters with American accents are unintelligible!!! It’s so bad I couldn’t get through the first couple of chapters and had to return the book. Why can’t there be more books read by Hugh Fraser or Emilia Cox?

Great story but I can’t listen to it
