About this listen

 The new Hercule Poirot mystery by Sophie Hannah, follow-up to the bestselling Hercule Poirot’s Silent Night.

New Year's Eve, 1932.

Hercule Poirot and his good friend Inspector Edward Catchpool arrive on the Greek island of Lamperos for a little holiday…or is it?

Catchpool suspects Poirot has a different reason for being there — one he won't reveal. As the clock ticks towards the New Year and a festive guessing game takes a sinister turn, can Poirot stop a murderer who is determined to strike before midnight?

Critic Reviews

“What Sophie and Agatha have in common is a rare talent for fiendish unpredictability: they make you see how the impossible might be possible after all.”

— Sunday Telegraph

“I was thrilled to see Poirot in such very, very good hands.”

— Gillian Flynn, bestselling author of Gone Girl

“Does Sophie Hannah’s Poirot live up to our expectations? Yes, he does, and markedly so … Poirot is still Poirot. Poirot is back.”

— Alexander McCall Smith

“Sophie Hannah is genuinely Christie’s heir.”

— The Scotsman

Great narrator- but nothing else positive to say. Very poor characterisation, ridiculous plot and very, very boring. I gave up, 3 hours in.
