Hercule Poirot: The Complete Short Stories

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser, Nigel Hawthorne, Isla Blair, Simon Vance

At last, a single volume that gathers together all of the short stories featuring Agatha Christie's most famous creation, Hercule Poirot. The dapper, mustache-twirling little Belgian with the egg-shaped head and curious mannerisms has solved some of the most puzzling crimes of the century—and, in his own humble opinion, is ""probably the greatest detective in the world.""

In this complete collection of more than 50 stories, ranging from short tales to novellas, Poirot faces violent murders, poisonings, kidnappings, and thefts—all solved with his characteristic panache. Only Agatha Christie could have devised cases worthy of Hercule Poirot's skill and ""little gray cells.""

Cretan Bull ending is bizarre

Some stories conclude before the resolution which is no fault of Audiobooks. I looked up these stories in print form and they, too, are truncated. I’d hoped these audio stories were edited but they weren’t. “Cretan Bull” reveals who-done-it but then there is zero dialogue between the young couple or any indication of how things stood, nor how the young couple would proceed- the entire point of the story.

Never gets old!

All the Hercule Poirot stories in one collection. Fun to hear the different narrations and voices. If you’re an Agatha Christie fan, this is excellent and worth repeat listens.

A Belgian Detective

Loved it. Narration was superb. Agatha Christie has always been one of my favorite authors.

Fabulous!

Perfect narration!
I apparently need to learn a number of French sayings, but learning is never wasted.
No doubt I will re-"read" this book many times!

Very enjoyable production

Very interesting stories. Narration excellent. These are timeless stories that I will enjoy listening to again in the future.
