About this listen

Still in the formative years of his career, Hercule Poirot faces a most taxing case: who killed Lord Cronshaw? Was Coco Courtenay’s death on the same night a mere coincidence? And did she deliberately take an overdose of cocaine?

No sooner has Poirot revealed his astonishing powers of deduction than he is faced with seventeen other mysteries to test his soon-to-be-famous ‘little grey cells’.

As a matter of courtesy to a group of young people, he endeavours to solve the gruesome murder of a woman whose body they have stumbled upon whilst locked out of their flat, and with his usual precision and elan he discovers exactly how ‘Mary, Mary quite contrary’ makes her garden grow…

These short Poirot stories were really intriguing, charmingly written, and wonderfully narrated by David Suchet. The whole thing combined to make a delightful collection of clever, witty and interesting stories.

A great selection of intriguing short mysteries!!

Hugh Fraser’s narration is top-notch as always IMHO; David Suchet is okay but a little over the top for a bedtime audiobook. Many of these stories are also found in other collections. I like that there are no sound effects or music as it suits me for a ‘getting to sleep’ audio option.

An enjoyable selection of Poirot mysteries

A classic read. After growing up with David Suchet in the TV series I cannot imagine anyone else who could read these beautiful short stories.
