Stories taken from other collections
Good stories but I already own most of them in other collections. Worth investigating the contents, next time.

Love them all!
These AC stories are wonderfully brought to life by (in my opinion) the best narrators of AC adventures. Brilliant just Brilliant

*Chef's Kiss*
Classic Christie read by some of the most recognisable voices of Marple, Poirot, and Hastings.
Astoundingly written and perfectly read, these stories transport the reader into the world of Agatha Christie, the sleepy little English villages, the civilised London of the early to mid 20th Century, and the great houses populated by the upper crust and their constant backdrop of servants, butlers, and hangers on. Even 100 years after her first novel being published, Christie delights, mystifies, and gently confuses right up until the moment of denouement when all is gloriously revealed and the reader is left wondering how they missed the clues so expertly strewn throughout the tale.

Most enjoyable
Loved having the original actors doing the narration. Loved them all and they did an amazing job, with this book and on the TV adaptations

Mixed bag
As an Agatha Christie fan I bought this book as a BOGOF an as others have said some of the stories are available elsewhere. On the whole okay passed the time when dog walking and nice to hear Joan’s voice again.

Now seeming old fashioned
I have always liked Agatha Christie novels, but having them grouped together as in this book really shows how dated they are.

Shame
Disappointing selection of stories. I thought would be a good basis to re listen to some forgotten favourites. Alas many were not worry the listen. Better collections available. Feels a poor collection and commercial production. Not sure any relevance midsummer has to do with selection of stories and just a poor excuse to rebadge a collection
