Excellent value and performances

Would you listen to Poirot's Finest Cases again? Why?

The audio plays are great for long travel or falling asleep. For me its usually the latter so I can listen over and over. The atmosphere is created with realistic sound effects and good character actors really bring the stories alive.

What about John Moffat and Full Cast ’s performance did you like?

It's hard to go past David Suchet as Poirot, but John Moffat is very close.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, its 8 plays - perfect for diving into at different points to enjoy all the strories

Any additional comments?

These plays can be purchased individually on in this bundle for the same price - do yourself a favour and pick this one!

Great storytelling!

Really enjoyed this set of stories, and like the use of performers for the different roles rather than one narrator. Poirot mysteries always have a fun twist.

Live performance

Would you consider the audio edition of Poirot's Finest Cases to be better than the print version?

Yes. It's a compilation of many stories.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Poirot n Hastings, a perfect duet just like Holmes and Watson.

Have you listened to any of John Moffat and Full Cast ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

This is the first. Looking forward to more.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Poirot poirot is Back!

Comfort and intrigue all in one

Agatha is the best as is her admirable, witty, pompous and interesting Poirot. The man himself. So well done by the BBC and it’s voice actors. Brilliant.

Enchanting

A wonderful escape with a professional cast and classic tales. If Agatha Christie is your cup of tea then find an arm chair and enjoy.
