A great way to be exposed to the wide breadth of Christie’s work

Like any anthology, the stories are of inconsistent quality, but most of them are pretty good to great. Plus I discovered a lot of other lesser known characters Christie created that I wasn’t aware of. Some of the performances were a little cringe, particularly when the British lady tries to do other accents. Still A great way to be exposed to the wide breadth of Christie’s work

Very Enjoyable Short Stories

The narration is very good and most of the stories are intriguing. The Parker Pyne short was annoying. Fortunately the enjoyment of the other stories far outweighed that bit of regret.

Death takes a holiday

A great series of short stories by Agatha Christie. Starting with Three Bind Mice, witch Agatha Christie’s play the Mousetrap the longest running play is based on. We also have Christie’s famous detectives Poirot, Miss Marple, and Tommy and Tuppence also solving mysteries in this audiobook. We also have tales with Christie’s lesser known detectives. The Mysterious Mr Quinn, who may or may not have supernatural powers. We also have Parker Pyne, a professional wish fulfiller/love expert/ and part time detective. We also get a few Christmas and New year mysteries to. A nice audiobook

Did not like the narrator.

Fenella’s reading ruined it for me. :( Specially when she "was" Poirot. But the stories are as expected, read them many a time and will read them many more hehe :)

Loved it!

This was an excellent selection of stories. The narration was beautifully executed bringing new life to the brilliantly written stories. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
