Read by Hugh Fraser who plays Captain Hastings in the popular TV series.

Three single girls shared the same London flat. The first worked as a secretary; the second was an artist; the third who came to Poirot for help, disappeared convinced she was a murderer.

Where does Third Girl rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Among the Agatha Christie novels I would rate it high.

What did you like best about this story?

I enjoyed this story because of the detail that went with setting up the murders and the complexity of uncovering who committed them.

Have you listened to any of Hugh Fraser’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I have listened to many of Hugh Fraser's excellent performances and found this narration just as good as his others.

Not third rate!

I had seen the TV episode but never appreciated the twists and turns as well as I did listening to this book.

Hugh Fraser is a treasure!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
but it's cut off early, very annoying.

Great narration from Hugh as you would expect and a brilliant story, probably more amusing than normal

Fantastic as always
