About this listen
The new Hercule Poirot novel – another brilliant murder mystery that can only be solved by the eponymous Belgian detective and his ‘little grey cells’.
Since the publication of her first book in 1920, Agatha Christie wrote 33 novels, two plays and more than 50 short stories featuring Hercule Poirot. Now, for the first time ever, the guardians of her legacy have approved a brand new novel featuring Dame Agatha's most beloved creation.
Hercule Poirot's quiet supper in a London coffee house is interrupted when a young woman confides to him that she is about to be murdered. She is terrified, but begs Poirot not to find and punish her killer. Once she is dead, she insists, justice will have been done.
Later that night, Poirot learns that three guests at the fashionable Bloxham Hotel have been murdered, a cufflink placed in each one’s mouth. Could there be a connection with the frightened woman? While Poirot struggles to put together the bizarre pieces of the puzzle, the murderer prepares another hotel bedroom for a fourth victim…
In the hands of internationally bestselling author Sophie Hannah, Poirot plunges into a mystery set in 1920s London – a diabolically clever puzzle that can only be solved by the talented Belgian detective and his ‘little grey cells’.

a long listen

I lost the momentum

Good: in the style of classic Poirot
Not so good: voice volume was up and down and sometimes hard to hear followed by very loud. Story was a little repetitive adding new pieces to the puzzle but over did it a bit.
Quite good

Decent Mystery
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Also, I understand that soft asides between characters may seem reasonable but in an audiobook, it makes the volume go up and down, so I was turning up, turning down ... annoying.
I struggled with this. Bit of a disappointment.

Storyline is tolerable, but definitely not the character of Poirot that Christie wrote. Her Poirot is tactful and shows kindness, not rude and insensitive.
I read/listened to Open Casket by same author and was disappointed but thought this one would be better as it has good reviews. More disappointed, I'm afraid. One of the rare times I have to leave off not finishing a book.
NOT the Poirot I know
