Book Description
The unabridged tales in this Mystery Masters audiobook include all the ones in the print book first published in 1974. With each case, Poirot further proves his reputation as the greatest mind in detective fiction. In "The Plymouth Express," the body of the daughter of a wealthy American industrialist is found stuffed under a train seat. "Problem at Sea" finds a disliked rich woman murdered in a locked room on a ship. "The King of Clubs" involves a prince, his dancer fiancee, and a fiendish bit of blackmail. These gems are alternately read by David Suchet and Hugh Fraser, whose roles as, respectively, Poirot and his sidekick, Captain Hugh Hastings, in PBS's Mystery! series and the Arts and Entertainment's Poirot series are considered definitive.

Quite a nice collection of short stories from Christie. She calls them early cases, but Poirot is not stumbling around making mistakes. He's still Poirot, just not the famous, arrogant, self-promoting Poirot of later years. Very fun collection. I can't wait to listen again.

I love this product. In fact this is the second time that I have purchased it. My original copy was scratched up from overuse. I play this in my car. The stories are short and sweet, just long enough for my morning commute.

If you're a fan of the BBC's Poirot mysteries, you'll love this. Both Poirot and Hastings reading some of the earliest Poirot cases...what's not to love? Really helps makes the commute a little more bearable.
 Another excellent collection April 22, 2006

It is wonderful to have these unabridged short stories on CD. This collection has two readers- sometimes the story is read by Hugh Fraser, sometimes by David Suchet. Suchet is definitely the better reader, as he uses more distinctive voices for each character, enabling the listener to follow the conversations a little better. However, all the stories are clearly presented, and each one is a delight- and better yet, most are solvable.
Another problem I had with this collection is that the stories are sometimes split between two CDs. This makes this particular collection harder to use in the car, when you have change CDs to hear the end of a story.
