Hallowe'en Party

A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Hugh Fraser

Inspiration for the major motion picture A Haunting in Venice, directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh, coming in 2023!

In this authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, a Halloween Party turns deadly, and it falls to Hercule Poirot to unmask a murderer.

At a Halloween party, Joyce—a hostile thirteen-year-old—boasts that she once witnessed a murder. When no one believes her, she storms off home. But within hours her body is found, still in the house, drowned in an apple-bobbing tub.

That night, Hercule Poirot is called in to find the `evil presence'. But first he must establish whether he is looking for a murderer or a double-murderer...

My favorite Agatha Christie

I listen to Agatha Christie all the time. Hugh Fraser does an amazing job. I love to revisit this one, especially close to Halloween. It’s become my favorite A.C.

A favorite Christie novel

Hugh Frazier reads this wonderfully. The interplay between Poirot and Mrs. Oliver is most entertaining.

Wonderful, entertaining story…

The way the story developed, very entertaining, easy to follow… a worthy story by Agatha Christie, whose stories I love!!!

Slow start but wild ending

It took a few chapters to get interested, but it was worth the wait. Five star for a detective story

Perfect Read for Halloween

It's past Halloween but this is the perfect story to listen to for Halloween.
