About this listen
There's a serial killer on the loose, working his way through the alphabet and the whole country is in a state of panic.
A is for Mrs. Ascher in Andover, B is for Betty Barnard in Bexhill, C is for Sir Carmichael Clarkein Churston. With each murder, the killer is getting more confident - but leaving a trail of deliberate clues to taunt the proud Hercule Poirot might just prove to be the first, and fatal, mistake.

Story
A blinding snowstorm - and a homicidal maniac - traps a small party of friends in an isolated estate. Out of this deceptively simple setup, Agatha Christie fashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers, which in turn would provide the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in history. From this classic title novella to the deliciously clever gems on its tail (solved to perfection by Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple), this rare collection of murder most foul showcases Christie at her inventive best.

Top narration
Near perfect fun. A tiny tiny bit contrived but Poirot Poirot even at his least annoying.

One of my favorites.
I liked the small clues which are written into the story you dont realize until you listen to the story a few times.

A longer but still riveting Christy mystery.
The narrator is great as usual.
A well presented audiobook.

First Serial Murder Case Told by Hastings
Another installment illustrations the methodical workings of Hercule Poirot's little gray cells. Rather fantastic seeming, the first serial murder case Hastings has told us about. The alphabetical nature did have me wondering. I liked the new investigative legion of victims' family/friends to help hone in on the culprit. I particularly liked a comment Poirot made about how conversation was the undoing of concealment and his quoting that speech was man's invention to prevent thinking. He hinged much throughout the investigation on what would come to light in the course of discussion - and, of course, he was right. And as always he (and the narrative) employed a little misdirection and suggestion while the pieces fell into place. Leading up to the traditional reveal scene I still had no clue how the explanation would go...my suspicions had been thoroughly diverted. Until he said something in the early moments of his speech about the nature and personality of the killer, and it suddenly dawned on me. Still a nice little surprise or two in the denouement after that. Trusty narrator Fraser again did not disappoint, incorporating numerous voices and accents to distinguish not only the traditional cast but more than a dozen other major and minor players. An interesting mystery, unique in many ways, and yet still classic Christie / Poirot style.

Wonderful as usual from Dame Agatha Christi!!!!!
This book is one of Dame Christie's best in my opinion. She does not leave obvious clues about the guilty party.

Timeless Mystery and Gifted Narrator
Thus perhaps the greatest of the Poirot mysteries. Hugh Fraser is the best narrator ever.

The One with the Serial Killer
Initially I wasn’t sure if I like this book as much as other stories of Christie’s. But by the last word I was very satisfied. I must read for any Agatha Christie fan and as always the narration is spot on. Hugh Fraser is one of the best narrators I have ever listened to.

Excellent story and voice acting!
I am amazed how Agatha Christie manages to hide the criminal from me till the very end every single time! She is truly a genius writer. Excellent voice acting as well even when names were not said, I could tell who was speaking based on the tones and inflections.
