The Under Dog

A Hercule Poirot Short Story

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Hugh Fraser

Pretty Lily Margrave is not convinced that Hercule Poirot is needed in the matter of Sir Atwell’s murder. At the request of her employer, Lady Atwell, she has already recounted what happened ten days ago in the Tower Room, and the victim’s nephew has been charged with the murder. Nevertheless, Lady Atwell brings Poirot up to the great house, Mon Repos, to see if he can find out anything. While at first the family is struck by Poirot’s ardent endeavor to uncover what befell Sir Atwell, his insistence on looking into every nook and cranny becomes too much for some to bear. A scrap of material, the contents of a tiny box, and his singular ingenuity lead the detective to uncover who is behind this violent act.

Wonderful

The short stories of Mrs Christie are hidden gems and Hugh Fraser is a beautiful surprise: inhabiting Hercule Poirot perfectly. This is a great listen

Enjoyable as usual with Christie's work

Perfect narrator. He gets me through many of my chores. Something calming, classy, in his voice. Of course, difficult to go wrong with an Agatha Christie story. Perfect combination!

This is a good one!

Good story, good Poirot, well read by Hugh Fraser. It was a good length, too.
