Bravo! Hugh Fraser. Bien joué.

I couldn't think of a finer narrator for the Poirot mysteries than Captain Hastings himself, Hugh Fraser. Well done and I will certainly listening/reading more. Merci beaucoup, as the little detective would say.

Wonderful, classic Poirot, but needs re-editing!!

These stories are all classics, and Hugh Fraser's performance was perfect as always, but the editing was seriously bad - there wasn't even a breath between stories, the last words of one story rolled into the first words of the next as though that were one sentence!! Very annoying, especially when you want to just listen to one story at a time...
