The Hollow

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Hugh Fraser

Agatha Christie’s classic, The Hollow, finds Poirot entangled in a nasty web of family secrets when he comes across a fresh murder at an English country manor.

A far-from-warm welcome greets Hercule Poirot as he arrives for lunch at Lucy Angkatell’s country house. A man lies dying by the swimming pool, his blood dripping into the water. His wife stands over him, holding a revolver.

As Poirot investigates, he begins to realize that beneath the respectable surface lies a tangle of family secrets and everyone becomes a suspect.

Not much mystery for a Poirot mystery

Not my favorite Poirot book... Poirot was barely in it! And it was more about the oddities of the characters than the crime. But still very well-written and enjoyable. I loved how it tied together at the end. I will always give Christie's books 5 stars

Interesting characters; not enough Poirot

Some very memorable characters (Henrietta, Lucy) but there wasn't much detective work for HP to do. This Christie entry was more about interpersonal relationships than a well-plotted mystery.

Another great Agatha Christie

You get what you expect. A great murder mystery novel. This one is a bit melancholy but still great

Deep characters, great accents

Christie masterfully captures a variety of emotions and human flaws going deep with every character. I loved the narrator’s pacing and accents - especially Grange and Poirot. Made a rich text come to life.

One of my favorites

Classic Christie, wonderful slight-of-hand plotting, now you think know, now you don't. Interesting characters abound.
