    The Mysterious Affair at Styles introduces Hercule Poirot, mystery fiction's greatest detective. Dapper, brilliant Monsieur Poirot, retired as the Chief of Belgian Police, is summoned to a magnificent English country estate to solve a murder. The victim: a wealthy heiress. The suspects: her fortune-hunting husband, her jealous relatives, even her hired companion. The solution: a deadly scheme that is revealed by the master detective himself.

    What did you love best about The Mysterious Affair at Styles?

    The Mysterious Affair at Styles was sent as an example of the new whispernet connection with the audio and the kindle version of the book. Of all the many audio books I have listened to, David Suchet's reading performance rates the best of any I have heard, extraordinary delineation among the characters, which kept me both delighted and riveted to the story. Although I checked to see the amazing link between where I was with the audio and the automatic link to the Kindle version of the book, I'd have to say I wanted to stick with the audio given the amazing performance.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The story was great, a typical Agatha Christie with witty, fun character study with twists and turns in the plot line that always kept one guessing


    Have you listened to any of David Suchet’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I am looking forward to checking out more of David Suchet's performances

    Why we think it’s a great listen: Some books are meant to be read; others are meant to be heard – Water for Elephants falls into the second group, and is one of the best examples we have of how a powerful performance enhances a great story. Nonagenarian Jacob Jankowski reflects back on his wild and wondrous days with a circus. It's the Depression Era and Jacob, finding himself parentless and penniless, joins the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth.

    What did you love best about Water for Elephants?

    Water for Elephants is a very engaging, story full of rich characters amidst the Depression focused on a circus environment which gave the story even more color on so many levels


    What did you like best about this story?

    Amidst its overall melancholy nature, the depth of character and relationships came through vividly, making its affect within a Depression centered era all the more felt. Sometimes it was hard to listen to as the emotions felt by the characters were so well expressed through both the writing itself as well as from the actors' performances


    What about David LeDoux and John Randolph Jones ’s performance did you like?

    These two readers were exceptional, bringing the story even more to life. Their ability to portray a variety of characters was amazing--two among the best I have heard so far
