Spider's Web

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Hugh Fraser

A classic from the queen of mystery: Agatha Christie.

Very humorous

This is a very humorous story. Hugh Fraser does an amazing job giving all the characters distinct voices and characters.

I love British TV whodunits. These characters are so well written and spoken that you can really "see" them in your minds eye.

Loved it!

This is now one of my favorite Agatha Christie stories! Thought I had the culprit figured out, but was wrong:)

Now one of my favorites

Mrs Christie has done it again. Superb puzzle, engaging characters, and believable, even inviting setting. What a great romp. I’ve listened 3 times and will do so again and again.

Agatha is always fun!

So this Agatha Christie book is based on a play she wrote. It has all the standard ingredients--country house, wealthy people and their servants and a perplexing murder to be solved. What is missing--is any of the usual detectives we expect (Poirot, Miss Marple, Tommy & Tuppence, etc).

However, this is still a very good book. The detectives she employs in this play/book (a local man and his constable) have much the flavor of the more well-known characters she created, so nothing at all suffered from that. What possibly did (in a very tiny way) was that this has been written in a style that suggests some things I do not believe Agatha would have said (she didn't say "sucks" nor hint at sexual things--one small reference that seemed uncharacteristic of her). The story did not suffer at all because of those things.In fact, since all of it takes place in one room--it was easy to visualize it being acted on stage--something I rather enjoyed.

Here is what is really great about this book: Hugh Fraser, who always reads her books very well, is exceptionally good with the voices and the reading of this one. I have heard several by him that I thought were just "so-so," but he outdid himself narrating this one! If you love Christie, this is a very good listen.

Great Agatha Christie! Lots of fun listening and good who done it too. Hugh Fraser did his usual great job narrating too.

This was a fun listen. A case of “where’s the body?” And a good murder mystery too. Just goes to show with or without Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot Agatha still keeps you on your toes.
