Thoroughly enjoyable
Enjoyed this audio book immensely. The stories were good, each one different and kept one guessing as to the outcome. The narration by Fenella Woolgar was excellent. She conveyed the characters brilliantly, making it so easy to distinguish them, one from another. Looking forward to more of the same.

Gasp, gasp!
I LOVE the stories, Agatha Christie is an incredibly skilled writer, however, I struggled with the narrator taking big gasps of breath (particularly during stories featuring Poirot) it really distracted me from the story.

Good stories, audio poor
Great short stories to listen to - about half an hour each. Mix of Poirot, Marple and others.
Narration volume varies a lot between characters and stories which was annoying and meant I continually jumped as a very loud voice suddenly came in my ears! The narrator was good but gasped a lot. Not as good as Hugh Fraser (but no one is)

Perfect Narrator
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.

Good collection of winter-themed mysteries
The ideal festive companion for the Agatha Christie fan. Midwinter Mysteries includes short stories featuring Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Parker Pyne and Harley Quinn alongside some standalone selections. While not all of the stories are of equal merit, most are strong. The much-anthologised Adventure of the Christmas Pudding concludes the volume. Fenella Woolgar's narration works equally well throughout. Recommended.
