David Suchet is wonderful!

I have loved Agatha Christie’s stories since I was a little girl. I think David Suchet has played Hercule Perot so well. It was wonderful to hear him read this book and play out the characters.

Great story told by a great narrator

I enjoyed this Christie novel - it was fun and unexpected and kept me guessing. David Suchet is a wonderful narrator.

A great Agatha Christie

I have read lots of Agatha Christie novels as they are pretty dependable as a good read. This was one of my favourites. Very enjoyable with some good, unexpected twists. Highly recommended.

Murders come in threes.

David Suchet delivers this tale with absolute perfection. While Poirot vanishes from the story telling for large chunks of the novel, the other characters draw you down the pathway until you are quite lost. Fortunately, the Belgian detective reappears and leads you back. The clues are all in plain site, but puzzling them together makes for all the fun.

Superb Performance

David Suchet's characters are unparalleled. Hard to believe that one man performed all the characters so distinctly with defining originality. Just magnificent! Completely enhanced the story.
