A great way to be exposed to the wide breadth of Christie’s work

Like any anthology, the stories are of inconsistent quality, but most of them are pretty good to great. Plus I discovered a lot of other lesser known characters Christie created that I wasn’t aware of. Some of the performances were a little cringe, particularly when the British lady tries to do other accents. Still A great way to be exposed to the wide breadth of Christie’s work

Very Enjoyable Short Stories

The narration is very good and most of the stories are intriguing. The Parker Pyne short was annoying. Fortunately the enjoyment of the other stories far outweighed that bit of regret.

Death takes a holiday

A great series of short stories by Agatha Christie. Starting with Three Bind Mice, witch Agatha Christie’s play the Mousetrap the longest running play is based on. We also have Christie’s famous detectives Poirot, Miss Marple, and Tommy and Tuppence also solving mysteries in this audiobook. We also have tales with Christie’s lesser known detectives. The Mysterious Mr Quinn, who may or may not have supernatural powers. We also have Parker Pyne, a professional wish fulfiller/love expert/ and part time detective. We also get a few Christmas and New year mysteries to. A nice audiobook

Fun mysteries, good narrator

This is a good collection of Agatha Christie’s mysteries, although you may have heard some of them in other compilations (I had, and skipped those). Be sure that you enjoy the Harley Quin mysteries if you purchase this, as there are quite a number of them in here. Fennell’s Woolgar is a talented narrator with a pleasant voice.

Good

I liked the stories and the performances were good. Nice to listen to in my car!

A good listen for old fashioned mystery fans

I like Agatha Christie’ writing very much, and the reader did an excellent job with the voices and accents.

Nice Collection!

This was a very nice collection of stories by Agatha Christie. Most were mysteries. I especially liked the last Poirot story.

Did not like the narrator.

Fenella’s reading ruined it for me. :( Specially when she "was" Poirot. But the stories are as expected, read them many a time and will read them many more hehe :)

Loved it!

This was an excellent selection of stories. The narration was beautifully executed bringing new life to the brilliantly written stories. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

What fun!

Agatha Christie at her best--playing fun and games and mystery and plum puddingunder the mistletoe!
