David Suchet can do fabulous voices, of all kinds!

His dreamy every-day voice would be quite enough for me but here, he does a brilliant array of ages/ sexes/ social strata etc (small children, teenagers, young, middle-aged or frail.) Vulnerable or powerful. Complaining, pompous, flirty, fickle, sweet, arrogant … Police, aristocracy, cooks, butlers, secretaries, murderers and innocent old ladies … AND accents?! UK & regional, European, Atlantic and American as well! Absolutely hilarious, intelligent and charming! Such fun!
Of course, the stories are great! (Additionally, short stories are very appropriate for busy people!)

Disappointed

Most of these stories are also on "Poirot Investigates", so if you have that, don't waste your money on this one. Or vice versa.
David Suchet's narration is, funnily enough, not as good as some of the others.
