Great story

Always so delighted when the narration is as great as the story. If you haven't heard any Agatha Chritie stories, you will love them.

Suchet IS Poirot

David Suchet IS Poirot. he could read the phone book and make it interesting.

Suchet does an awesome job

The plot is convoluted but hearing Suchet voicing the different characters it is like watching it on TV.

Suchet excellent as usual, but too many characters to wade through.

Suchet excellent as usual, but too many characters to wade through. Middle of story dragged.

Great performance, not the most compelling Christie

David Suchet is the definitive Poirot, so full marks there; the mystery itself is not very interesting, unfortunately.
