Great performance but stories can be predictable

Always finishes up the same. Poirot gathers everyone together for the big reveal. The performances were quite entertaining and I will definitely be listening to more radio dramatizations.

Love the stories and the cast

My first full cast BBC full cast book, and I absolutely love it! Highly recommended.

MARVELLOUS

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely! The mystery selection and the dramatized version adds flavor to the entire listening experience.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Poirot's Finest Cases?

The Murder on the Orient Express. My favorite character has been Ms. Debenham and Natalie. Debenham more. Love you Debbie!

Which scene was your favorite?

The last meeting where Hercule presents with 2 versions of the murder, the confessions from the murderers and where Captain Burke and the Doctor give their verdict on how the murder was committed on The Orient Express.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The Murder on the Orient Express where the Italian diver meets Hercule Poirot and makes a confession. Touching. Couldn't have been expressed any better!

Any additional comments?

Intelligent plots. So interesting to get hooked on to!

Agatha Christie at her best.

Mr. Poirot has been one of my heros since I was a boy. Loved it !

Nothing bad to say...
