It is frustrating the way you look at a review for a product and there are reviews for other products of the same title. It is the equivalent of looking for a review of a pizza at one restaurant and being listed prominently is the review of a pizza from another restaurant. Anyway...I find Agatha Christie interpretations to be the same way. Some (especially newer productions) totally miss the mark in terms of the classic cozy mystery feel. Not so with this version.If you like Poirot, and have never heard John Moffatt in the part, give this a try.Moffatt personifies Poirot as well as anyone else can. He does as well in Audio as Suchet does on video (not to take away from either).I have enjoyed many of Christies stories with Moffatt staring as the main character, even going back to before the internet and the limited availability in the 90's on cassette.These radio interpretations through BBC Radio are top notch, and are great to listen to while doing chores.I would also suggest if you like this to try the BBC Ian Carmichael Dorothy Sayers Mystery Dramatizations.
I love all Agatha Christie novels and audio books....
Great murder mystery. Agatha Christie at her best.
The recording is very good quiality since it is a recent reproduction. We found the voice and portrayal of Poirot a bit cloying at times but the story retains its great qualities.
