Tyrannical millionaire Simeon Lee has been estranged from most of his family for years. But now, on Christmas Eve, the old man calls them all together once more. Unable to disobey, the children gather uneasily and wonder what their father's intentions are. Does he want to clear up past misunderstandings or cause fresh mischief? Before they can find out, a deafening crash is heard overhead. Rushing upstairs, they discover a shocking sight: Simeon Lee is lying in a pool of blood, his throat cut. But it is the strangest thing - the door has been locked from the inside and there is no trace of the murderer. With so many possible suspects, it is lucky for Superintendent Sugden that the Chief Constable has his old friend Hercule Poirot staying with him. It seems to be an impossible case. But, as Poirot knows only too well, things aren't always as they seem.

Peter Sellis is not my favourite Poirot, but he has a lovely calmness to his voice acting. I know him best from LOTSW, but his earlier work I have seen and enjoyed. The rest of the cast is great and the sound effects make me giggle. Lovely entertainment for shower trips

Another good Agatha Christie mystery solved by Poirot, this time played by Peter Sellers which is a wonderful addition to the collection.

Another good story from the enigmatic Agatha Christie. Full professional cast (Any Cheese Gromit?) plays Hercule Poirot - not sure if I agree to him in this role but he is passable this once. Hercule’s Christmas is one of my favourites and I am a little disappointed not to have Moffat but still pleased to have this production rather than nothing.

I enjoyed this dramatised edition of Hercule Poirot's Christmas. However, I found it strange having Peter Wallis as the lead. All I thought of throughout the audio book was Wallace & Grommit or Clegg from Last of the Summer Wine.

Peter Sallies is unfortunately a very poor Poirot. His accent is a joke. Disastrous performance. Ruins an otherwise excellent Christie.
