Poirot as it should be

Naturally, no one does Poirot better than the actor himself- David Suchet-I only wish the story was longer...

Well acted narration and a tidy cozy mystery.

Both story and reading were inventive and entertaining. Lost jewels and a closed room mystery by Agatha Christie, with Hugh Frazier narrating.

A good story

David Suchet did a fine job of narrating. Hugh Fraser is best, but Suchet is a close second.
Agatha remains #1
