Suchet IS Poirot

David Suchet IS Poirot. he could read the phone book and make it interesting.

Great story

Always so delighted when the narration is as great as the story. If you haven't heard any Agatha Chritie stories, you will love them.

Great story told by a great narrator

I enjoyed this Christie novel - it was fun and unexpected and kept me guessing. David Suchet is a wonderful narrator.

David Suchet is wonderful!

I have loved Agatha Christie’s stories since I was a little girl. I think David Suchet has played Hercule Perot so well. It was wonderful to hear him read this book and play out the characters.

Suchet does an awesome job

The plot is convoluted but hearing Suchet voicing the different characters it is like watching it on TV.

Suchet excellent as usual, but too many characters to wade through.

Suchet excellent as usual, but too many characters to wade through. Middle of story dragged.

Great performance, not the most compelling Christie

David Suchet is the definitive Poirot, so full marks there; the mystery itself is not very interesting, unfortunately.

Christie and Suchet - Jolly Well Done

Any additional comments?

I wouldn't rate this as one of my favorite Poirot adventures but David Suchet brought the characters to life with such flair that I chuckled repeatedly over the variety of personalities he created with Christi's talent. It was a jolly listen.

A Favorite!

This is one of my favorite Poirot mysteries —it keeps you guessing up until the very end. David Suchet does an excellent job of narrating, although some of his female voices are a bit over the top. Overall a wonderful audiobook. Highly recommend.

Trust your instincts

David Suchats does a fantastic job here. I had some complaints with his reading of Death on the Nile, none are present here. Great solid Piorot story. 👌 what more can I ask for.
