Murder in the Mews

Four Cases of Hercule Poirot: The Official Authorized Edition

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Nigel Hawthorne

Agatha Christie’s classic Murder in the Mews presents four mystifying criminal conundrums that will seriously test the superior detecting skills of the unflappable Hercule Poirot.

How did a woman holding a pistol in her right hand manage to shoot herself in the left temple? What was the link between a ghost sighting and the disappearance of top secret military plans? How did the bullet that killed Sir Gervase shatter a mirror in another part of the room? And should the beautiful Valentine Chantry flee for her life from the holiday island of Rhodes?

Hercule Poirot is faced with four mystifying cases—each a miniature classic of characterization, incident, and suspense.

Four short mysteries from Christie

The first short story in this audio book, Murder in the Mews, is narrated poorly by Nigel Hawthorne. The rest of the stories are wonderfully narrated by Hugh Fraser. Overall, I found them to be enjoyable quick listens.

Hawthorne's narration is not a big deal.

Three really engaging mysteries and one OK mystery. Don't let reviews fool you! Highly recommend!

Great writing and narration

It isn't one of my favorites, but it's a classic Christie novel. A very good narrator.

Don't fret over the narration of Nigel Hawthorne!

Hugh Fraser is to the rescue!
For some reason, the description of this title only includes Nigel Hawthorne as the narrator (who would have received one star as a narrator, mainly due to his poor reading of Poirot), but Hawthorne is only the narrator of the first story in this compilation. The wonderfully talented Hugh Fraser (Captain Hastings to the fans of the television series) narrates the other three stories. Hoorah for Hastings!

Forever fan

loved this- so well done and in keeping with the original story! Will listen over and over and always hear something new..
