About this listen

A CD edition of this popular Christie mystery. Read by Hugh Fraser, Captain Hastings in the popular TV series.

The house guests at Styles seemed perfectly pleasant to Captain Hastings; there was his own daughter Judith, an inoffensive ornithologist called Norton, dashing Mr Allerton, brittle Miss Cole, Doctor Franklin and his fragile wife Barbara , Nurse Craven, Colonel Luttrell and his charming wife, Daisy, and the charismatic Boyd-Carrington.

So Hastings was shocked to learn from Hercule Poirot’s declaration that one of them was a five-times murderer. True, the ageing detective was crippled with arthritis, but had his deductive instincts finally deserted him?…

Once again Hugh Fraser brings to life the Poirot stories with his characterisations and calm delivery but this time with the added solemnity at the passing of the great detective.

A sad farewell

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I have waited 20 years since I started to read H. Poirot's novels at 15 to finally read the last one. This was a great book, a nice mystery and a bittersweet end of a long friendship.

A long wait for a great book.
