The Under Dog and Other Stories

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: David Suchet, Hugh Fraser

A dead heiress on a train, a murdered recluse, a wealthy playboy slain at a costume ball are but a few of the unfortunate victims of confounding crimes committed in the pages of Agatha Christie’s The Under Dog and Other Stories, a superior collection of short mystery fiction all featuring Hercule Poirot as the investigator.

A beautiful heiress has been found dead on a train. A playboy has been stabbed through the heart during a costume ball. An elderly woman suspects that she is being slowly poisoned to death. A prince fears for his reputation when his fiancée is embroiled in another man's murder. A forgotten recluse makes headlines after he is shot in the head.

Who but Agatha Christie could concoct such canny crimes? Who but Belgian detective Hercule Poirot could possibly solve them? It's a challenge to be met—in a triumph of detection.

LOVED IT!

David Suchet and Hugh Fraser are great together. I can see why they were casted in the TV series. And of course, Agatha Christie always hits the spot.

excellent stories, told well

Good narration and good story selection. Something you will want to listen to again. Enjoyed.

Loved It But...

The stories are great, but I wish the publisher would have put the titles of the stories instead of just naming them Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc.

In case I want to listen to a particular story, there is no way I can unless I play the beginning of each story to find the one I want.

Too bad because it would be fantastic if it was like "Murder In Paradise"

Great Collection

If you're a rabid Poirot fan like me, this is a true gem! Many of the tv series are based this collection of AC's short stories.
