 Poirot Investigates: As Read by Poirot Himself September 22, 2004
33 out of 35 found this review helpful
This adaptation of the classic short story collection starring the famous Belgian detective is a wonderful find.
David Suchet (television's Poirot) performs with adept precision in reading the exploits of Agatha Christie's hero whose little gray cells are stretched to the limit at times.
The only minor criticism we can make is that, as there is only one performer and despite Mr. Suchet's impressive talents, it is difficult at times to distinguish one character from another when their dialogue is being read even if you are paying close attention. If Hugh Fraser (the actor who plays Hastings) had participated as a co-reader, since most of the stories were written from his character's point-of-view, we think it would have been a major asset and made this CD a full five-star production.
For its price, it is a solid buy.

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.
