Captain Arthur Hastings, invalided in the Great War, is recuperating as a guest of John Cavendish at Styles Court, the "country-place" of John's autocratic old aunt, Emily Inglethorpe - she of a sizeable fortune, and so recently remarried to a man 20 years her junior. When Emily's sudden heart attack is found to be attributable to strychnine, Hastings recruits an old friend, now retired, to aid in the local investigation. With impeccable timing, Hercule Poirot, the famous Belgian detective, makes his dramatic entrance into the pages of crime literature.

Since When is Poirot from Transylvania?
Revisado: 11-02-17
There are a lot of Agatha Christies read by Hugh Frasier and given automatic kudos by people who know he played Hastings to David Suchet's Poirot. That doesn't make his reading good or even tolerable. Despite working for years with Suchet's superb Belgian accent, Frasier gives Poirot a floating accent that goes from German to Romanian to Hungarian with side-trips into the full Dracula. Maybe others can blissfully tune it out, but it pulls me out of the story several times a chapter. I've removed all the other Frasier-Christies from my wish list.

A Perfect Read Apart from the Americans
Revisado: 10-29-17
I'm a great admirer of Kenneth Branagh as an actor and was thrilled to get his reading of my most re-read Agatha Christie. His reading is of course first rate so far as Poirot and the Europeans, but the American accents on Mrs. Hubbard and Hector MacQueen are a distracting absurdity that really breaks your focus every time it occurs. You're no longer listening to the text but at that weird verbal mash many Brits do as an American accent. This is surprising in that Branagh did a superb California accent 25 years ago in Dead Again. I can't imagine what happened, but it's not good.
Speaking of Mr. MacQueen, Christie repeats many times what a likable and affable young man he is. Perhaps Branagh was thinking of his movie casting, because none of that comes through.
