Audiobook narrated by Hugh Fraser.
I was in the mood for a cosy, easy to digest mystery so of course turned to the Queen of Crime for fulfilment. Some writes Poirot a letter saying they plan to commit a crime and the date and town, signing the letter A.B.C. What follows is a string of murders and a game of cat and mouse to catch the killer before they strike again.
- Your standard Poirot adventure. Not quite up there with Murder on the Orient Express and other exemplary Poirot investigations but a solid entry none the less. Simultaneously an easy read and a complicated enough mystery.
- The settings and people were well described and easy to envisage. The audiobook narrator also voiced each character very well and avoided making anyone sound ridiculous.
- A good, multilayered plot that starts off slow and gathers pace. I sort of figured out the mystery about half way through but not the exact details and was pleasantly surprised with the ending.
An enjoyable murder mystery. For those looking for a good quality but accessible crime story.
