Sad Cypress

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: David Suchet

In Agatha Christie’s classic murder mystery Sad Cypress, a woman damned by overwhelming evidence stands accused of murdering her romantic rival, and only Hercule Poirot stands between her and the gallows.

Beautiful young Elinor Carlisle stood serenely in the dock, accused of the murder of Mary Gerrard, her rival in love. The evidence was damning: only Elinor had the motive, the opportunity, and the means to administer the fatal poison.

Yet, inside the hostile courtroom, only one man still presumed Elinor was innocent until proven guilty. Hercule Poirot was all that stood between Elinor and the gallows.…

Such a nice summer listen

LOVED David Suchet's performance. One of my favorites, even though Poirot is not featured as much as usual.

Almost perfect!

A++ story and A+ overall… just be aware that this reading has a wide volume range, so is not good for listening at low to medium-low volumes :)

Excellent narration

Good book that I enjoyed listening to. Not one of Christie's best, but still entertaining.

A solid Christie

Not one of my favorites, but I like the shake up in structure and the inclusion of the courtroom storyline, which is usually lacking in Christie

Poor sound

Excellent story and the great narration but the sound quality is bad. Loud in places and you can barely hear in other places. Even with that the story is excellent so I would recommend

Poirot saves the day again!

I love Poirot stories and this one was no exception. David Suchet is an amazing performer and does great performances of every character, not just Poirot. I'm not looking forward to the day I run out of Poirot novels narrated by him.

One of my all time favorites

Perfection. Favorite novel yet of all the Hercule Poirot books. The characters come to life and of course David Suchet’s narration is the best

good mystery

hard mystery to figure out
enjoyed this hercule poirot mystery
really I like them all

Sad Cypress

I've been listening to a long string of Aggatha Christie novels and short stories. In the past, her writing has made me
feel angry or stupid. But I will say now that I've become used to her bringing the resolution to the mystery in from left field. I've even been able to anticipate her ending on a couple of her stories. Her wording is a marvel to behold.

Hugh Fraiser is my favored reader.

One of my favorites!

Loved it! Lots of suspects which I really enjoy. David Suchet is brilliant as always!
