Appointment with Death

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Hugh Fraser

The unstoppable Hercule Poirot finds himself in the Middle East with only one day to solve a murder in the classic Agatha Christie mystery, Appointment with Death.

Among the towering red cliffs of Petra, like some monstrous swollen Buddha, sits the corpse of Mrs. Boynton. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist is the only sign of the fatal injection that killed her.

With only twenty-four hours available to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalled a chance remark he’d overheard back in Jerusalem: “You see, don’t you, that she’s got to be killed?” Mrs. Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he’d ever met. . . .

always the one I dont suspect

Even when I'm trying to pick the most unlikely person, ita always someone else.
this one was very good and fun
Hugh Frazier, as always, perfect!

Outstanding job by Hugh yet again

This will be my third Agatha Christie book and all from the Hercule series, was quite the rollercoaster and I loved every minute of it.

Hugh has been a delight to listen to from all his other audio books he has done and here he still is reliable at capturing the spirit of each character like he always does, he is part of a small list of people that I always can rely on for high quality performances when I’m listening.

If anyone reads this give him a try, I think he’s worth your time.

Fantastic. Classic Christie.

This was a superb book - classic Christie to give you all the right clues and also tons of red herrings. And Hugh Fraser never disappoints as a reader.

Great story, Amazing performance

Hugh Fraser, the narrator is so good with voices, that you forget that it’s being narrated. Really really good. You can actually tell the character of Mercer apart from Perrault even though they have a similar accent. The women’s voices are good. And this is one of the Very good plot twists,so classic. So good.

A classic.

My first Poirot storyline, and I enjoyed it enormously. My wife is a long-time fan, and after conversations with her about looking for something new to read I decided to give this a try.

I’m glad I did.
