Wow. The kind of story that needs to bake in your head a bit.

Revisado: 06-03-24

I really hope Mr. Brooks is working on a novel length expansion of this excellent story. I will definitely need to listen a couple more times to it before I'll feel like it's completely absorbed.

His writing has been extraordinary in everything I've read of his, and this is the same I admit I was initially a bit disappointed to see he didn't narrate, but I needn't have been. Narrator is excellent.

Quite a few strong and conflicting feelings throughout this story. I'm a bleeding heart, ACLU card-carrying Liberal very against war and killing each other; I am also a strong supporter of our military troops. I found myself livid at the described invasion/occupation of my country while also nodding in agreement as I recognized that those things that make me livid are familiar because that's exactly the terms, propaganda, and behavior that our government and military have imposed on every country we've sent our military into at least in my lifetime (50ish years, I was born almost exactly as the Tet Offensive began in Vietnam.).

Unsurprising, my conclusion goes back to please we need to accept we're all the same. We all breathe, love, hurt, desire, and every single human is worth exactly the same as every other human. We're all family. Killing and harming each other hurts every single one of us. Nations are just line drawings. We do not have to like each other, but we need to respect each other. Or we can keep wasting our short time alive fighting, dividing, killing, and retaliating until whatever eventually ends our beautiful planet's ability to sustain us.

It's your choice as much as mine.

Wow. No true spoilers anywhere... that ending is problematic*at best*.

Revisado: 05-13-24

And while I dearly wish I could say my comment involves something unrealistic, it is far too realistic. If you have any issues dealing with domestic violence, I beg you to stop the book once Poirot reveals the whole puzzle. DO NOT CONTINUE TO the final ending resolution, and then this book is one of Christie's best ever. With the ending few minutes this book deeply disappoints and lowers my respect for Christie significantly. That is how absolutely abhorrent those few minutes are, to ruin not just an otherwise fabulous book, but to also drop my respect for the author many steps. SOMEONE should have ripped those last couple pages out and lost their content. That Mrs. Christie did not herself is a gut punch.

Greatest crime mystery story ever

Revisado: 01-16-24

LOVE the narration! Fully believed in each separate character. Not sure how to make word minimum without just typing OUTSTANDING OUTSTANDING OUTSTANDING until I hit the minimum.

OUTSTANDING STORY, tinny sound

Revisado: 10-13-23

I utterly LOVED the book, the series seems to get better with each book! Unfortunately, the sound on this one brought to mind a narrator curled in a metal barrel with the microphone on the furthest bleacher in a large gymnasium. I had to use different headphones to hear it well enough.

OUTSTANDING!

Going through the Lord Whimsy series in order and this is so far my absolute favorite! Delighted to have discovered this series! Bummer I cannot find an unabridged audio version of the next one. Had to buy the old used paperback, else only a dramatized version is available. A shame.

Finally found the complete story. Wonderful performance of one of, if not THE, best detective stories ever written.

Fabulous!

Perfect narration!
I apparently need to learn a number of French sayings, but learning is never wasted.
No doubt I will re-"read" this book many times!
