Three Act Tragedy

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Hugh Fraser

In Agatha Christie’s classic, Three Act Tragedy, the normally unflappable Hercule Poirot faces his most baffling investigation: the seemingly motiveless murder of the thirteenth guest at dinner party, who choked to death on a cocktail containing not a trace of poison.

Sir Charles Cartwright should have known better than to allow thirteen guests to sit down for dinner. For at the end of the evening one of them is dead—choked by a cocktail that contained no trace of poison.

Predictable, says Hercule Poirot, the great detective. But entirely unpredictable is that he can find absolutely no motive for murder.…

Excellent story and narration

This is one of my favorite Hercule Poirot books. The story was great and the narration was excellent

Excellent Narration by Hugh Fraser

What did you love best about Three Act Tragedy?

I like Agatha Christie's style of story telling. I like how the story was broken down into three acts. Hugh Fraser's narration is perfect, as always.

One of the Best

Great story! Got a little slow during the middle portion of the book, but the last part sucked me in. I was even able to guess the murderer, which almost never happens. Definitely recommend this!

Always entertaining

If you’ve listened to books by Agatha Christie before, how does this one compare?

This one is good although the final explanation of the crimes strains credibility.

What does Hugh Fraser bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He is great with voicing the diverse cast of characters.

So many layers

Not enough Poirot in the story for my liking but the multi layers of deception make it well worth the read. Hugh Fraser makes it well worth the listening.
