The Mysterious Affair at Styles

I loved the entire story line.
The narrator did good, she kept my interest in the story.

Did not care for the book... 3 stars to be fair as I believe it was just my taste in novels not the quality of the novel

yes because I enjoy Agatha Christie mysteries, and the reader was easy to listen too and put different vocals to each character...have read the book many times so made the "listen" even more enjoyable

well not really, because as I said previously, have read the book many times...but for someone that hasn't read it...it will keep you guessing as to "who done it"

she read it with good understanding of the book and the characters

just enjoyed

I would recommend this "listen" to anyone who likes mysteries without foul language or graphics of any kind...just good writing, and good reading...and much pleasure of literature

always enjoy agatha christie for the quaint, dated atmospheres and terribly polite characters. nothing too disturbing, just simple mysteries in interesting locations.

had to force myself to listen the whole way through. worst reading i have ever heard - awful pronunciations, the voice of poirot was cringeworthy, and the narrator was sooooooooooo slooooooooow! for some reason she had decided that a 2 second pause was warranted at every comma or full stop. infuriating.

It took a while to get past the echoes in the recording, next time I will probably pay more for the other audible options, but once past that it was a competent enough telling of a well known story.

I will try other book from Agatha Christie, having read hard copies of all of the stories I will enjoy listening to another interpretation.

Perhaps more inflection for Poirot would have made him more enjoyable.

I've seen the tele series of many Christie stories, not many of them get it right. Can't beat Ustinov for Poirot.

This book was somewhere in the middle. the story was much better than the preformance therefore it had the potential to rate much higher.

This book was a group production, that is why the quality of the narration is so important.

She did well with the female voices, but did poorly with the mens voices. Also I found myself rewinding often because of her strong British accent.

No. At it's best it reqired time to digest.

The reader was not able to distinctly separate characters so part way thru, I had to buy another version read by David Suchet. Skip this version with this reader. All voiced characters sound the same and very confusing. Not worth the money.
