Very enjoyable Christie short stories. Poirot in good form read as expressively as always by Hugh Fraser.

Narration outstanding

I couldn't think of a finer narrator for the Poirot mysteries than Captain Hastings himself, Hugh Fraser. Well done and I will certainly listening/reading more. Merci beaucoup, as the little detective would say.

Bravo! Hugh Fraser. Bien joué.

These stories are all classics, and Hugh Fraser's performance was perfect as always, but the editing was seriously bad - there wasn't even a breath between stories, the last words of one story rolled into the first words of the next as though that were one sentence!! Very annoying, especially when you want to just listen to one story at a time...

Wonderful, classic Poirot, but needs re-editing!!
