DESCRIPTION:
"Order of Short Stories is Different" according to Agatha Reader. I had this audiobook in my shopping cart for months but was reluctant to buy it because I was not able to find the answer to my questions regarding the product. Recently however, I made up my mind and went ahead to buy it. Now, I have the answer to all my questions. There might be others out there who have the same questions, so I will address them.1. The audiobook consists of 7 CDs housed in two folded black cardboard cases. The box is slim (about 1 inch width) which makes it convenient to carry around.2. The cardboard cases inside have no design or writings. Very disappointing as I was used to seeing the Harry Potter sleeves with a . Another excellent collection A. Guyton 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 . If you love Poirot djd in Woodbridge These are a must-have for anyone who loves the genre, Agatha Christie, or Hercule Poirot. They're unabridged (complete), and are wonderfully read by David Suchet and Hugh Frasier, the leading duo from the well-known "Agatha Christie's Poirot" TV series aired from the mid-80's to 2013 when they closed out the last of the stories. Absolutely a treat for collector or mystery-lover.
Since they don't switch off within any of the stories, but each does all the voices in a given story, that leaves both Suchet and Fraser doing a more exaggerated voice for Poirot, since Hastings actually does most of the narration in the stories. From AudioFile These 18 cases were first gathered together in 1974, but they represent the early portion of Agatha Christie's career, as well as Poirot's. J.A.S. David Suchet and Hugh Fraser, who played Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and friend Captain Hastings on TV, do the voice work here. © AudioF
With each case, Poirot further proves his reputation as the greatest mind in detective fiction. "Problem at Sea" finds a disliked rich woman murdered in a locked room on a ship. The unabridged tales in this Mystery Masters audiobook include all the ones in the print book first published in 1974. "The King of Clubs" involves a prince, his dancer fiancée, and a fiendish bit of blackmail. In "The Plymouth Express," the body of the daughter of a wealthy American industrialist is found stuffed under a train seat. 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.
