A refugee of the Great War, Poirot is settling in England near Styles Court, the country estate of his wealthy benefactress, the elderly Emily Inglethorp. When Emily is poisoned and the authorities are baffled, Poirot puts his prodigious sleuthing skills to work. Suspects are plentiful, including the victim's much younger husband, her resentful stepsons, her longtime hired companion, a young family friend working as a nurse, and a London specialist on poisons who just happens to be visiting the nearby village.

Classic Agatha, Weird accent
Revisado: 02-20-23
Although Armitage narration was good. His fake weird Belgian accent is very distracting. Agatha Christie’s story is a cult classic and I can never get bored reading and listening to them.

All secret agents need to look out for William Nye, now known as Agent X. His recruitment was simple and his legend is brilliant but un-earned. Somehow, he thinks he's the best there is and we all know how pride goeth before a fall. The master of SF hilarity and biting social satire creates a spy world that has gathered praise from the greats of the genre.

In the summer of 1994, a workman at the historic mansion of railroad baron James J. Hill in St. Paul, Minnesota, stumbles on a long-hidden wall safe. When experts arrive to open the safe and examine its contents, they make an astonishing discovery. There, inside, is a handwritten manuscript bearing the signature of John H. Watson, MD. The manuscript contains the story of how Sherlock Holmes and Watson traveled to Minnesota to track a murderous arsonist - known only as the Red Demon - who is threatening both Hill and his Great Northern Railway.

Good detective story not good Sherlock Holmes story
Revisado: 01-18-22
The plot wasn’t bad. But the fact that it is written as Sherlock Holmes story is what put me off. The writer seen unable to understand Doyle’s Holmes cold logical behaviour, which might be rude sometimes but never this cruel. It seems Holmes make lots of stupid mistakes that is not his characteristics. In addition, Dr.Watson character was wrongly portrayed as fanboy following and idolising every movement done by Holmes, even wishing himself dead if any harm happens to him, doesn’t make any sense. He was a doctor and war veteran!! Overall, it’s a good listening from the plus catalogue, nothing very special.

Performance is So annoying
Revisado: 12-11-21
Performance was too annoying to my taste. Maybe it’s part of showing the personalities, but I couldn’t continue listening to the book, with the narrator suddenly screaming in my ears.
Couldn’t get past chapter one.

This book has a darker tone
Revisado: 10-04-21
This is my third Robert Rankin story. I came to this writer recently and I was hooked by his narrative, his weird and funny writing. Robert Rankin’s writing is not for everyone you either love him or hate him. If you are a fan of dry British comedy, Monty python, little Britain type of comedy, then this book is for you. Although I found myself laughing out loud for some of lines, this book has a darker feeling than other books, some scenes are really disturbing. I loved how he ends it. He is a brilliant writer and narrator, listening to him reading it really gives his books another depth.

It's December 1999 and strange things are happening as the new millennium nears. A British police box appears from nowhere in San Francisco’s Chinatown and the mysterious man inside it is shot down in the street. Despite the best efforts of Dr Grace Holloway, the man dies and another stranger appears, claiming to be the same person in a different body: a wanderer in time and space known only as the Doctor. But the Doctor is not the only alien in San Francisco. His deadly adversary the Master is murdering his way through the city and has taken control of the TARDIS.

A Bad story but I enjoyed listening to it
Revisado: 03-18-21
Since I never watched classic Who, I am trying to fimiliarise myself with it through the novelisations of doctor 1-7 episodes stories. So I was excited when I saw the novelisation of Doctor Who movie. The story is really bad, I know it’s not the novelisation’s fault. It WAS a horrible movie, a stupid way to send off the seventh doctor. The story felt like “Batman Forever” knock off, sleazy 90s superhero movie. It did not feel like a doctor who story at all, I don’t think whoever wrote the movie ever saw a Who episode (again, I blame the movie story not the novelisation). Another thing, I found Dan Starkey’s American accent very forced and distracting. I always loved Starkey’s narration, but this was one of his worse (the only one in matter of fact). I am sure I am not the only one attracted by mentioning his name as a narrator ,hence, the choice. but he was a bad choice for this particular story where most of the characters are American, they could’ve brought an American narrator maybe?
Am I regretting buying the book ? Not at all! Will I still buy it? Definitely!
The movie as bad as it was is a pivotal moment in DW lore, a classic reminder of how not to make DW, and what will happen when creative choices are given to executives who never bothered to understand what makes DW special. In addition, it gave us Mcgunn’s Doctor. I would not miss his regeneration story. That’s why I’m going to give it 3.5 stars
