Comfort and intrigue all in one

Agatha is the best as is her admirable, witty, pompous and interesting Poirot. The man himself. So well done by the BBC and it’s voice actors. Brilliant.

Most entertaining for road trips

I really liked that the characters were played by a cast, and it wasn’t just a story being read by a narrator.
Loved listening to the mysteries across numerous road trips.
