The Under Dog and Other Stories

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser

A beautiful heiress has been found dead on a train. A playboy has been stabbed through the heart during a costume ball. An elderly woman suspects that she is being slowly poisoned to death. A prince fears for his reputation when his fiancée is embroiled in another man's murder. A forgotten recluse makes headlines after he is shot in the head.

Who but Agatha Christie could concoct such canny crimes? Who but Belgian detective Hercule Poirot could possibly solve them? It's a challenge to be met - in a triumph of detection.

Can't go wrong with Poirot!

I'm a sucker for David Suchet as Hercule Poirot. Hands down the best actor to portray that role. So naturally when I saw that he was narrating this audiobook, it was an instant buy for me.

Kind of fun knowing that the actor that plays Colonel Hastings was also in it. But! Not all of the short stories were narrated by Suchet. Not a total disappointment but it was weird that Hugh Fraser took on the Poirot role.

Anyway, these were fun short stories. The only complaint I had was that they kind of ended abruptly right before the next story fired up. They totally could have been longer. I really couldn't tell you one that really stood out to me from this set, but I did enjoy it for what it was worth.

Gotta love my sweet little Belgium

Great memories watching the series on pbs. Helps me relax to listen while driving. Really love Agatha Christie

Short and fun stories

I have adored Agatha Christie since I was a teen. Audible has helped.me discover titles I missed and I am enjoying the new adventures. The vocal actors did a superb job on sharing the story.

Great Collection

If you're a rabid Poirot fan like me, this is a true gem! Many of the tv series are based this collection of AC's short stories.

Great!

Loved it! It was wonderful. I look forward to more books. I love Agatha Christy!

Love Christie

What can be better than listening to David Suchet & Hugh Fraser reading Christie! Enjoyed so very much. I listen to this frequently.

Don't miss these

AC's short stories often are some of her best, and these are no exception. David Suchet narrates all but one, I think. He is so outstanding. IMHO, this is a must listen for all Christie fans,

Beautifully Done

Such a treat to listen these two narrate this selection of stories. They are the embodiment of the characters at their finest.

Great narrators, some good Christie stories

I'm not as big a fan of Christie's short stories as I am of her novels, but they are enjoyable. David Suchet and Hugh Fraser are both wonderful narrators.
