From AudioFile
As always, the inestimable David Suchet rises to the challenge of playing Agatha Christie's vain and brilliant Belgian detective. His characterization is dead-on. As Poirot employs his "little grey cells" to solve a murder, a jewel robbery, and other misdeeds, Suchet not only captures Poirot's fussiness and mannerisms to a "T" but does the same with the supporting characters and the narrative itself. Poirot's sidekick, the clueless Captain Hastings, adds comic pomposity and aching frustration (over Poirot's vanity). All in all, Suchet's delivery tickles the ear like gentle, upbeat prose music.

Poirot Investigates: Eleven Complete Mysteries

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Two things bind this sampler of thrillers: the diminutive Poirot's deductive brilliance and his partner Hastings's obtuseness. The eleven cases here involve film stars, valuable jewels, and abductions as Poirot stylishly uncovers the truth. This is a thrilling short story collection by the master of mystery and the most popular author of all time.
