About this listen

The world’s greatest detective, Hercule Poirot—legendary star of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile—returns to solve a fiendish new mystery.

Hercule Poirot is travelling by luxury passenger coach from London to the exclusive Kingfisher Hill estate, where Richard Devonport has summoned him to prove that his fiancée, Helen, is innocent of the murder of his brother, Frank. But there is a strange condition attached to this request: Poirot must conceal his true reason for being there.

The coach is forced to stop when a distressed woman demands to get off, insisting that if she stays in her seat, she will be murdered. Although the rest of the journey passes without anyone being harmed, Poirot’s curiosity is aroused, and his fears are later confirmed when a body is discovered with a macabre note attached…

Could this new murder and the peculiar incident on the coach be clues to solving the mystery of who killed Frank Devonport? And if Helen is innocent, can Poirot find the true culprit in time to save her from the gallows?

One must enjoy the character of Hercule Poirrot to enjoy this book. I frequently had to chuckle at his idiosyncrasies. Quite an in depth mystery with several characters to get to know but most enjoyable for Poirrot fans.

I had great expectations of this new Hercule Poirot mystery but was sadly disappointed. It moves along at a snail's pace and the explanations of each character's relationship with the others - often in great detail - didn't help. As with most Poirot mysteries, it was necessary to wait until the last chapter to find out 'who dunnit' but even then I only felt relief that I'd persevered to the bitter end.
Agatha Christie herself came to hate the character of Poirot and with 'new'mysteries' of this quality she wouldn't have changed her opinion.
Sorry, I won't be listening to any more.

Not a good successor to the original Point stories

This is really disappointing. I listened to the end but wish I hadent wasted time on it. Poiret was so tedious I wanted him to shut UP

So average
