Sad Cypress

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: David Suchet

Beautiful young Elinor Carlisle stood serenely in the dock, accused of the murder of Mary Gerrard, her rival in love. The evidence was damning: only Elinor had the motive, the opportunity, and the means to administer the fatal poison.

Yet, inside the hostile courtroom, only one man still presumed Elinor was innocent until proven guilty: Hercule Poirot was all that stood between Elinor and the gallows.

Such a nice summer listen

LOVED David Suchet's performance. One of my favorites, even though Poirot is not featured as much as usual.

Almost perfect!

A++ story and A+ overall… just be aware that this reading has a wide volume range, so is not good for listening at low to medium-low volumes :)

Excellent narration

Good book that I enjoyed listening to. Not one of Christie's best, but still entertaining.

A solid Christie

Not one of my favorites, but I like the shake up in structure and the inclusion of the courtroom storyline, which is usually lacking in Christie

Excellent

I have always liked Sad Cypress as a novel. It is very different from a lot of the other Agatha Christie novels featuring the master sleuth Hecule Poirot.

David Suchet is phenomenal as always!

Really loved it all! One of her stories that fell through the cracks for me when I was younger and I’m glad I finally got around to it.

It isn’t a negative or slight against the narrator, but occasionally he trailed off the ending of the words or read very quietly for dramatic effect. This made it hard to listen to at times while driving the car or doing something busily like washing dishes. Listening to it in a quiet environment would have been better at those times, but otherwise a fantastic listen. Recommended!

Classic Christie

Excellent writing. David Suchet is a fantastic narrator playing his eponymous Poirot. I'd very recommend it.

Great listen

The reader was great. It’s a classic Agatha Christie, it’s fun that it had a court room angle which is not always something she does.

One of my all time favorites

Perfection. Favorite novel yet of all the Hercule Poirot books. The characters come to life and of course David Suchet’s narration is the best

good mystery
