Poirot’s Last Case

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Hugh Fraser

A CD edition of this popular Christie mystery. Read by Hugh Fraser, Captain Hastings in the popular TV series.

The house guests at Styles seemed perfectly pleasant to Captain Hastings; there was his own daughter Judith, an inoffensive ornithologist called Norton, dashing Mr Allerton, brittle Miss Cole, Doctor Franklin and his fragile wife Barbara , Nurse Craven, Colonel Luttrell and his charming wife, Daisy, and the charismatic Boyd-Carrington.

So Hastings was shocked to learn from Hercule Poirot’s declaration that one of them was a five-times murderer. True, the ageing detective was crippled with arthritis, but had his deductive instincts finally deserted him?…

Critic reviews

‘First rate Christie: fast, complicated, wryly funny’ Time

‘Superb, vintage Christie’ Sunday Express

The most gripping Poirot story

One of the best Poirot stories -- masterfully narrated by Hugh Fraser, who also performed the narrating character in the David Suchet series. This is among the Agatha Christie books which are not only masterfully woven crime mysteries but also not without literary merits. It revolves around real ethical and moral dilemmas -- a relatively rare thing in murder mysteries.

Last but Certainly Not Least

Can't fault Hugh Fraser's reading. Loved the twist in this last Poirot. Christie, what an author! Will hear again and again and ...

A must!

Agatha and Hugh is true! The plot intrigues you and the read performance enchants you!

Perfect

This is one of my favourite Agatha Christie novels. It is perfect. And masterfully narrated.
