Cat Among the Pigeons

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Hugh Fraser

Murder is part of the curriculum at an exclusive school for girls in Agatha Christie’s Cat Among the Pigeons, as the intrepid Poirot sets out to bring a stealthy killer to justice.

Late one night, two teachers investigate a mysterious flashing light in the sports pavilion while the rest of the school sleeps. There, among the lacrosse sticks, they stumble upon the body of an unpopular games mistress—shot through the heart point-blank.

The school is thrown into chaos when the “cat” strikes again. Unfortunately, schoolgirl Julia Upjohn knows too much. In particular, she knows that without Hercule Poirot’s help, she will be the next victim.…

Das Ende der Geschichte

Ich fand alles sehr interessant und hat mich sehr beeindruckt . Von Anfang bis Ende fesselnd.

No Poirot until chapter 17.

Enjoyed it as usual with Agatha Christie but not enough Poirot himself. Still a good story.

Agatha Christie at her best

You can never predict where she's going. Most mystery fiction now a days are easy to predict.

Great Story

The plot was interesting and fresh, ending unexpected, one of my favorite Agatha Christie books.

Clever, engaging, surprising

He did a great job on all characters.

Not one particular moment, but the characters' lives held my interest.

Any additional comments?

This Christie mystery is definitely worth the money.

Ahhhh...

Another wonderful Christie story. Full of twists and turns. And Hugh Fraser comes through with his usual style and flair.
Never a dull moment.
Thanks again to Audible for making this available.

A cracking Christie

A really exciting, intriguing, and well-narrated Christie. A bit more of an adventure story than her usual domestic, psychological murder plots, but a fun ride, with an engaging cast and a satisfying conclusion. Recommended!

agatha

Another, typically, enjoyable story from the best mystery writer, ever! Also Hugh Fraser is at his normally elite level of narration, perfectly matched to Agatha's stories.

Good story and Great Narration!

One of my faves! Christie understood so much about human emotions and behaviors, which is showcased in the Chadwick character and Julia and Jennifer (students).

A wonderful book for a hot day or any day!

I love Poirot's entrance in this book and all of the amusing conspiratorial cooperation between so many different figures of authority. Another multi-layered triumph,
