I travel a lot and drive. The great thing about books on CD's (or tapes) are someone else reads to you while you are driving. Great fun.

I was pleasantly surprised with this collection of short-story mysteries. I had seen the television versions, but the stories are still a delight! Suchet performs brilliantly, able to play both the English characters as well as the delightfully Belgian Poirot. The best thing about these short mysteries is that if you wish to pit your wits against the Great Detective, they are solvable. Also, unlike some of the other CD collections, the mysteries end on the CD they start on, so you have 2-3 complete mysteries per CD. This is really great if you are using them in your car.
A Delight for Suchet/Poirot Fans February 25, 2006

All the characters that delight on television are recreated in these unabridged audiobooks. Suchet's reading is a treat and he handles Colonel Hastings and Inspector Japp's voices very well. Your mind accompanies the reading with scenes from the television shows.
One drawback is his voice grates when handling the female lines. I wished for a female to chime in, but the flow of the story carried me past those bits so it did not detract that much.
Pop these into your CD player to listen and you will find yourself catching some details that you may have overlooked in the dramatizations on TV.

Not bad, not great. Would not go out of my way to recommend it to friends.
Agatha Christie remains "The Queen of Crime" February 10, 2005

The stories are imaginative, complex, can be solved. David Suchet does an excellent reading, not easy with the various characters he portrays. Although based on the TV series, (also very highly recomended), you may have missed some of the clues, so listen hard. There are several collections in this series all excellent, BUT .....
However Christie fans should also select "International" on Amazon's opening screen, then go to "United Kingdom", then select "Books" and "Books on CD", then select "BBC Radio Collection". This gives you about 270 titles, of these about 30 are Full Cast productions of Agatha Christies plays and are superb. Some of the titles are, "Peril at end House", "Death on theNile", etc. Most are also available on cassette also, this results in about 1200 choices.
