The stories are some of the best short stories by Agatha Christie, the narrator is very good at all the accents EXCEPT Hercule Poirot…. He sounded more a whispered effeminate Charlie Chan than Poirot,definitely the worst Poirot I’ve ever heard.

If you ignore that, then this could be a good listen.

Excellent Stories but poor narration

4.25/5

A wonderfully wintery collection of short stories from the marvellous Agatha Christie. Featuring an array of her beloved characters, this collection has a murderously magnificent feel.

- Each story is fairly short but wonderfully done. I enjoyed some more than other and some were more complex whereas others were simple but all were fun.

- If you enjoy Christie's famous detectives then you won't be disappointed. There's several involving Monsieur Poirot, a couple with Miss Marple and one or two with other less well known characters too.

- The narrator did an excellent job reading these tales. I particularly enjoyed how plummy she made the voices of the more upper class characters.

Perfect for those who love cosy mystery and festive vibes.

I LOVE the stories, Agatha Christie is an incredibly skilled writer, however, I struggled with the narrator taking big gasps of breath (particularly during stories featuring Poirot) it really distracted me from the story.

Gasp, gasp!
