Hercule Poirot's Christmas

 

Author:  Agatha Christie

Begun: April 3rd 2025

Finished: April 3rd 2025

Type: Audiobook on Libby

Narrator: Hugh Fraser

Rating: 9/10





I think this has to be my favourite Poirot story.  

A tyrannical head of a rich family is murdered.  Poirot is called in to assist in the investigation.  The usual shenanigans ensue.

Read by Hugh Fraser, who is absolutely *AMAZING* at voice acting.  My gosh!  You'd seriously think it was the actors from the series talking. He is absolutely on point, and it really brings the tale to life.  11/10 for the narration. 

The story itself is fun.  Simeon is, of course, nasty, and it's a delight when he's bumped off.  

Good stuff.  Good story. Good narration.  

The tv show with David Suchet did a fantastic job of staying relatively close to the main beats of the story.  I do so very much love Pilar. Sasha Behar really brings her to life and gives her a lush accent that is a delight to hear.
