Suchet and Fraser perform Poirot mysteries: Heaven

This is a keeper and I will re-listen every so often for the simple pleasure of the performances. David Suchet is the quintessential Poirot, there is no one better. Fraser is the counterbalance to the little Belgian in this duo. There is a more complete compilation that is a better value, but this was terrific.

David Suchet IS Poirot!

This collection of short stories is wonderfully narrated by David Suchet, who will always be the definitive Hercule Poirot. He possesses however, many other voices and accents, including a quite creditable American accent. This as a delight to listen to.

David Suchet is Superb

Twelve short stories by Agatha Christie narrated by the superb David Suchet. We all know his a great playing Poirot but in narrating these stories he show another side of his talents. He clearly defines each character and has a knack for accents. I assume when he reads as Hastings, that is closest to his normal accent. But when he read as Japp, I thought he sounded exactly like Philip Jackson who played Japp in the series. You won’t regret getting this book.
