About this listen

Framed in the doorway of Poirot’s bedroom stood an uninvited guest, coated from head to foot in dust. The man’s gaunt face stared for a moment, then he swayed and fell.

Who was he? Was he suffering from shock or just exhaustion? Above all, what was the significance of the figure 4, scribbled over and over again on a sheet of paper? Poirot finds himself plunged into a world of international intrigue, risking his life to uncover the truth about ‘Number Four’.

Easy but exciting to follow. Great story line from the first chapter. Could see this story being made into a movie for sure 🎬

Best narrator!

Best Christie novel of them all. Edge of the seat, constantly twisting and turning and nothing at all like the Tele-movie. Hugh Fraser was excellent again, especially as the novel is written from Captain Hasting’s view.

Brilliant!!!

Just didn’t enjoy the story compared to other Agatha Christie novels. The number of times Hastings was unconscious and woke up somewhere else became actually laughable by the end!

Least favourite Christie so far
