Two Bestselling Agatha Christie Novels in One Great Audiobook

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

Voted by the British Crime Writers’ Association as the "Best Crime Novel of all Time"

Hercule Poirot comes out of retirement in one of Agatha Christie’s ten favorite novels, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.

Roger Ackroyd knew too much. He knew that the woman he loved had poisoned her brutal first husband. He suspected also that someone had been blackmailing her. Then, tragically, came the news that she had taken her own life with an apparent drug overdose.

However the evening post brought Roger one last fatal scrap of information, but before he could finish reading the letter, he was stabbed to death. Luckily one of Roger’s friends and the newest resident to retire to this normally quiet village takes over—none other than Monsieur Hercule Poirot.

The Hollow

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.

Two Great Stories in One Audiobook!!

Christie never fails to amaze with her wit and keen insight into human beings. The greatest of authors are able to mirror ourselves back to use through the characters of a story and Christie is able to do this almost without parallel. Full of twists and turns you will not be able to put it down! Very enjoyable and a great deal!

Superb rendition

Hugh Fraser does an outstanding job reading the story and interpreting the characters. The book is one of Agatha Christie's best.

Brilliant stories! No wonder she is the queen.

Totally unexpected endings for both stories, which makes sense perfectly —but only in retrospect. Completely original. cleverly written with amusing dialogue from distinctive characters.

Excellent characterization!

This is a superb production of two of Agatha Christie’s best stories. Hugh Fraser is the best performer for these stories.

First is amazing, second is bad

First story is fabulous and classic Agatha Christie. 5 stars!! The second one is the worst of her stories, it is mostly a soap opera and Poirot isn’t really even in it until Chapter 18 and even then quite sporadically. First narrator is fantastic but the second is plain bad.

Both titles worth a read!

So enjoyable! Christie's genius on full display. I regretted either book coming to completion. Both books are full of surprises to the very end. I highly recommend for Status Christie fans.

The Hollow

The Hollow is the finest example of Agatha Christie that I have experienced so far. Hugh is a grand narrator.

Fabulously performed and written

Another two wonderful stories of who done it from Ms Christie. In each story she has a well played twist at the end. I love a story with something unexpected and she always delivers.
Hugh Fraser is a wonderful narrator and by far my favorite.
Definitely worth buying!

Amazing.

The story will stick with me forever. The kind of characters in The Hollow are so great and remind you of people you already know. The narrator does a great job of immersing you in the story. I literally have dozens of other Audibles I need to listen to, but I think I’m about to restart this one…

Hugh Fraser at his best! Such a great narrator!

Had checked out both books from the library, but wasn't able to finish them due to work. Decided to try audible, and man was it a real treat! The narrator really kept me tuned in. Amazing how he kept all the voices straight, and never missed a beat.
