Description

Poirot Investigates a host of murders most foul—as well as other dastardly crimes—in this intriguing collection of short stories from the one-and-only Agatha Christie.

First there was the mystery of the film star and the diamond . . . then came the "suicide" that was murder . . . the mystery of the absurdly cheap flat . . .a suspicious death in a locked gun room . . . a million dollar bond robbery . . . the curse of a pharaoh's tomb . . . a jewel robbery by the sea . . . the abduction of a prime minister . . . the disappearance of a banker . . . a phone call from a dying man . . .and, finally, the mystery of the missing will.

What links these fascinating cases? Only the brilliant deductive powers of Hercule Poirot!

      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: As always, the inestimable David Suchet rises to the challenge of playing Agatha Christie's vain and brilliant Belgian detective. His characterization is dead-on. As Poirot employs his "little grey cells" to solve a murder, a jewel robbery, and other misdeeds, Suchet not only captures Poirot's fussiness and mannerisms to a "T" but does the same with the supporting characters and the narrative itself. Poirot's sidekick, the clueless Captain Hastings, adds comic pomposity and aching frustration (over Poirot's vanity). All in all, Suchet's delivery tickles the ear like gentle, upbeat prose music.
