About this listen
The world’s most beloved detective, Hercule Poirot – the legendary star of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express and currently The Haunting in Venice – returns in a stylish, diabolically clever mystery set in 1930’s London.
‘Murder! Me? How dare you!’
Hercule Poirot’s tranquil afternoon is ruined when an angry woman accosts him outside his front door. She threatens to report the famous detective to Scotland Yard for falsely accusing her of murder. Seeking sanctuary inside, Poirot is startled to find that he has a visitor – another stranger claiming to have received a letter from Poirot accusing him of killing the same man.
How many more innocent people have been sent letters? If Poirot didn’t send them, who did? And who is Barnabas Pandy, the alleged victim – is he dead or alive? Poirot has answers to find, and quickly, or more lives may be put in danger…

Too complex and without real evidence
Started well. Got complicated. Watery ending. I love Christie and sadly Hannah missed the mark (for me) with this one. I'll try another though as may just be a one off.

Really enjoyable
I was a little sceptical about this book after seeing a couple of poor reviews, but decided to give it a try. I really enjoyed it; I thought the story was gripping and I looked forward to listening to more. Julian Rhind-Tutt is a fabulous reader, I have heard him many times and always enjoy listening to him; he did a great job of conveying all the characters. My only criticism is that the denoument took ages - it was a couple of hours more listening after Poirot gathered all the suspects together so I think that could have been tightened up.

A good hook. A naff book.
The author has an impressive ability to write tedious characters realistically and at length, and I was ready to kill them all by the time Poirot assembles them in one room for the convoluted resolution. While the "hook" into the story is interesting and very "Christie", the book doesn't contain the occasional red herring so much as a enormous amount of dead carp.
BUT, the narrator is bloody marvellous. I sometimes forgot that it's not a full cast radio adaptation. I'd be tempted to give another book in the series a go, just because he elevates the material so much it often becomes enjoyable.

Excellent
Another satisfying book to listen too.
Julian Rhind Tutt is a brilliant narrator and his character voices are spot on.
The story is another interwoven many character story and with every chapter the plot twists and turns. Found myself listening to more chapters per day, just hear what will happen next.
I hope Sophie Hannah writes more and that Julian will continue to narrate them.
In fact it would be nice if he would willing to narrate some the original books by Agatha Christie, as David Suchette only read a few of them.

A satisfying listen for Agatha Christie fans
A clever plot which twists and turns nicely. With excellent narration by Julian Rhind-Tutt, this is a thoroughly enjoyable listen for fans of Agatha Christie and Poirot. This is the first Sophie Hannah book I’ve read - I’ll be downloading her other two Poirot audiobooks soon.

Mystery of three quarters
Loved I and wished it was longer. Poirot at his best as usual. More required.

Good listen
Although not one of Sophie Hannah’s best, it was a very engaging listen, and the negative reviews out there confuse me somewhat. The narration is superb - will listen for more of him for sure.

Very enjoyable
I've never listened to a Hercule Poirot book before, and whilst I know this isn't written by Agatha Christie I did find it very enjoyable.
Hercule Poirot as a character came across as quite enjoyable, with a good sense of self and care for other people. Not as finicky as I was expecting.
I liked the character of Catchpool too and his relationship with Poirot.

Strong start, disappointing ending
As with her earlier Hercule Poirot titles (and many of her other novels), Hannah frustrates in part because she gets so near the mark; she is expert at setting up tantalising situations and compelling characters - and even, to an extent, in creating a pleasing blend of her own and Christie's styles - only to deliver another preposterous ending. While with Christie and other 'Golden Age' mystery authors, a sufficiently attentive and observant reader can generally pull together textual clues to gather 'whodunnit', Hannah specialises in crafting motives so involved and psychologically-abstruse that they are essentially unguessable. For those of us who love Christie for her taut, puzzle-box plotting, Hannah's works are bound to disappoint.
