Critic reviews

‘Like a lot of people I read Agatha Christie’s books young, about the age of 13, and I read them avidly. And I read them all as audiobooks so I got to know them all quite well all over again. The thing you realise is how good she is on characterisation. When you do an audiobook you write a list of characters so you can differentiate between them and very often there'd be 40 or 50 characters all clearly defined in these books including the chauffeur, the maid, the waiter – they'd all have a bit of a personality and that's what makes them so rich.’—HUGH FRASER, The Guardian

A nice mix of Agatha Christie stories, my only complaint is the bad editing, random comments like " end of disc three" could have been easily sorted out.

Christie Does it Again

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A lovely bundle of stories, each lasting about 30 minutes and beautifully narrated by the soothing voice of Hugh Fraser. Only gave 4 stars because quite a lot of the stories already appear on other audio recordings. I most enjoyed the final mystery, The Pearl of Price, which has a very psychological storyline. It emphasizes the distinctive skills of Agatha Christie.
