Critic reviews

"There is irresistible simplicity and buoyancy of a Christmas treat about it all." (Times Literary Supplement)

Misleading title

Only the first chapter is the new story The Adventures of the Christmas Pudding. The rest are other stories included in prior audiobooks, which was not advertised..

Hugh Fraser is enjoyable as always

What did you love best about The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding?

A different kind of Christmas tale in true Agatha Christie style. LOVED it. As I loved all her books.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Little Bridget strikes me as a forceful young lady in the making.

Which scene was your favorite?

The Christmas dinner where the pudding was eaten and each found their little trinket. So aptly, HP received the bachelor's button!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, definitely.

Any additional comments?

No one but Hugh Fraser (or perhaps Dan Stevens) should be given AC mysteries to read. As Hastings in the ITV series, Hugh is a master at recreating the emotion of each story he reads.

agatha at her best and a wonderful narrator!

this is a wonderful collection of short stories and the narrator is wonderful as usual. very much worth the listen.
