As good as David Suchet is on the TV

Any additional comments?

I have always loved Poirot on TV and John Moffat plays the role fantastically well - despite knowing the stories I am always drawn into the plots and drama

The Little Grey Cells...

Honestly, my first impression of this audio book was that I wouldn’t like it as it’s not the actual books read verbatim, instead it is theatrical. The actors read out the dialogue as a script, so it’s a visual play, but after 20 minutes or so I got into it and hearing the brilliant Hercule Poirot accent really made it work for me.
It was a great listen for fans of Hercule and Agatha, yes it misses out little things such as Poirot rubbing his fingers in dust or his little side glances that you get from reading the novels, but still really enjoyable.

Loved every minute of it

I loved that all the characters were played by different actors. The one and only grating thing which is like nails on a chalkboard for me, is the eating and drinking noises. I don't need to hear slurping sounds, it was only prevalent on one episode and you can fast forward, which I did.
Overall though, it was well played performances and thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommend
