Publisher's summary

At a Hallowe'en party, Joyce - a hostile thirteen-year-old - boasts that she once witnessed a murder. When no one believes her, she storms off home. But within hours her body is found, still in the house, drowned in an apple-bobbing tub.

That night, Hercule Poirot is called in to find the "evil presence". But first he must establish whether he is looking for a murderer or a double murderer.

A favorite Christie novel

Hugh Frazier reads this wonderfully. The interplay between Poirot and Mrs. Oliver is most entertaining.

My favorite Agatha Christie

I listen to Agatha Christie all the time. Hugh Fraser does an amazing job. I love to revisit this one, especially close to Halloween. It’s become my favorite A.C.

Slow start but wild ending

It took a few chapters to get interested, but it was worth the wait. Five star for a detective story

the incomparable Hugh Frasier

One of Christie's best books is performed by Frasier, who is without peer in voicing these characters. Highly recommended

Amazing

This was the very first audio book I've ever listened to, and I am not disappointed. I've wanted to read this book for ages, and it was a great listen, though I wish the Halloween theme was more prominent.

The narrator did a fantastic job, and I loved the voice he gave to Poirot. I definitely recommend this.

Good story. Great storyteller.

Entertaining story by Agatha Christie. Hugh Frazier does an excellent job of making the story come to life. David Suchet *IS* Hercule Poirot. Hugh made him seem to be there.

I loved humor around the apples!

Agatha Christie is a master story teller and has an amazing ability to weave the pieces together in the most creative ways!

Mostly Mystery…Less Halloween

Can you imagine being murdered while bobbing for apples? I never understood that game. Now, I’ll never think of it as a game again!

Hugh Frazier did another amazing narration. This mystery held my interest. However, it wasn’t one of my favorites. My experience over the last 50, or so years, is that all Christie novels are worth reading. But some of them shine brighter than others.

I enjoyed this one and give it 3.75 stars.
