The narration here is excellent. Ms.Fix gives each of the characters a distinctive voice, and is able to remain consistent through the rather long story.
However, this is sadly not one of Christie’s best works. The story, characters, and plot twists are solid, but the writing is painfully repetitive. She over- explains and re-explains various plot points in a way that becomes incredibly irritating. An editor could have aired this down by about a quarter and made something really great.

A very Wilkie Collin’s story. Loads of coincidences, high emotion, drama, and secrets by the teapot full. The narrator was wonderful. He was able to create distinctive, realistic voices for each character and somehow kept them all consistent over this very, very long story.

I usually listen to audio books and podcasts while I’m occupied with something else - laundry, dinner prep, gardening, etc. I got so wrapped up in this book that I found myself simply sitting still and staring off into the distance while I listened. It is somewhat predictable, but the characters are so well drawn and the writing so beautifully done, that it didn’t matter that I could pretty much guess the ending. It doesn’t hurt that the narration is spot-on.

I’ve read and listened to many Agatha Christie books, and these were probably my least favorites. By the Pricking of My Thumbs wasn’t bad, but Postern of Fate? Ugh! Was she just tired? Obligated to put out another book by a contract with a publisher? Just why did she write this?

Well, no. This was not good. It was derivative and not very engaging. The characters were so poorly drawn, that I just didn’t care what happened to them. The writing was poor, and a bit juvenile; it completely lacked any kind of elegance or craftsmanship. A really good editor might have made a difference, but unfortunately it reads like a professional never touched it. Even the narration was poor. I cringed every time the female narrator started speaking in a man’s voice. Not good at all.

I really quite liked this book. I’m not a huge fan of Ms. Marple, but she only shows up briefly at the end of the story to solve and explain the crimes that have occurred. The narration was quite good, the voices different enough to easily distinguish, but not over-the-top.

I love this narrator. His Young Bingo voice is something else, what? Sort of wet and lisping and perfect for the character. A real topper!

The narrator here is very good. The characters are distinct, but not over-the-top. I prefer collections of just Jeeves stories, and there are a few others here, so I knocked of a star for content.
