A delight

Fenella Woolgar is a wonderful narrator with an uncanny ability to bring different voices to life. At times I could have believed I was listening to a full-cast drama, such was the clarity of voices and accents. Her Poirot was excellent.

Perfect Narrator

Sublime winter mystery stories from the ultimate queen of crime read superbly by Fenella Woolgar who’s Poirot voice impersonation rivalled Sir David Suchet. Listen, it’s so worth your credit.

Sublime Christie

Could have been so good!
Ruined by having to skip the 'Poirot' stories
A female narrator who does a ridiculous impression of a French accent in a whispering voice to disguise her shame.
What a pity.

Awful Poirot narration
