Sorry couldn't recommend this one.
I enjoy Hugh Fraser, but the book was disjointed, couldn't wait for it to finish.

So Slow
I am a big fan fan of Agatha Christie and had never read this book. What a disappointment. I found it to be very slow and very boring and very very predictable.

Fabulous Story.
Hugh Fraser was sublime as the narrator!(as usual)
The story was wonderful, parts of it made me laugh out loud and parts of the story made me cry .I
Agatha Christie never disappoints, I am just dreading the day when I run out of her books.
Recommend this author every time

such a wonderful narration by Hugh Fraser.
such a wonderful narration by Hugh Fraser, I simply fell in love with the character of Lucy. I wouldn't have felt that way had I read the book myself, Hugh Fraser brings the characters to life in a way that my mind could never do. I love audiobooks for that very reason and I love Agatha Christie's beautiful winding stories, so easy to listen to and so satisfyingly neat and all tied up in a bow at the end with no loose ends. wonderful.

Cracking story
I really enjoyed this Agatha Christie. story, particularly the twists in the story before the identity of the murderer is finally revealed. Hugh Fraser does an excellent job of narrating as usual.

The Hollow
This is my favourite Poirot mystery. Not as gripping as the others - great narration though.

Good entertainment to keep you guessing
Agatha Christie mysteries are some of my favourite ???comfort??? listening as they provide a good puzzle with larger than life characters who are usually aristocratic and affluent and live in beautiful English countryside settings. We can escape into these pleasant surroundings and even though a murder or two is bound to be committed we do not have to suffer gory details. This story is typical and, of course, includes a stately and faithful butler.
.
M'sieu Hercule Poirot of the sharp eyes, logical thinking, extreme vanity, kind heart and formidable moustaches is a much loved character and his dry comments always leave me smiling. He makes his appearance midway through this story, which starts with such well drawn and interesting descriptions of the main characters that they are easy to picture.
Lady Angkatell, in particular, is an absolute gem. She flows and floats around her country house home ???The Hollow??? continuously chattering on in a hilarious but apparently inconsequential flow. Despite this we begin to realise that she artlessly manages to plant certain pictures in the minds of her listeners ??? including us. Lady Lucy would be a nightmare to live with, but she alone could make this book worthwhile, although there is also plenty of surprise and entanglement to enjoy. So many times we think we know ???who dunnit???, but we are kept guessing again and again until the end
.
Hugh Fraser is an excellent narrator for all these books and always finds the perfect voice for each different character to bring them to life for us.
