About this listen
Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot both make appearances in Agatha Christie’s Double Sin and Other Stories, a sterling collection of short mystery fiction that offers double the suspense, surprise, and fun.
In one of London’s most elegant shops, a decorative doll dressed in green velvet adopts some rather human, and rather sinister, traits.
A country gentleman is questioned about a murder yet to be committed.
While summoning spirits, a medium is drawn closer to the world of the dead than she ever dared imagine possible.
In a small country church, a dying man’s last word becomes both an elegy and a clue to a crime.
These chilling stories, and more, cleverly wrought by master Agatha Christie and solved by the inimitable Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple.
Chapter 1 = Double Sin (Hugh Fraser)
Chapter 2 = The Wasps' Nest (Hugh Fraser)
Chapter 3 = The Theft Of The Royal Ruby, Pt 1 (Simon Vance)
Chapter 4 = The Theft Of The Royal Ruby, Pt 2 (Simon Vance)
Chapter 5 = The Dressmaker's Doll (Anna Massey)
Chapter 6 = Greenshaw's Folly (Isla Blair)
Chapter 7 = The Double Clue (Hugh Fraser)
Chapter 8 = The Last Séance (Christopher Lee)
Chapter 9 = Sanctuary (Joan Hickson)
The performances by Christopher Lee, Simon Vance and Joan Hickson were my least favourite. Simon Vance is usually a favourite of mine, but not as Poirot.
There have been a couple of collections of stories I've bought from audible that are like this and I won't bother buying any more of these as proper labelling is a hit and miss. One thing I wish I could see if the list of narrators at the end of the Chapter label.. maybe similar to how I do it or another way.
EDIT: I noticed that stories #1, 2, and 7 sounded like Hugh Fraser and not David Suchet as credited, so I contacted the publisher to see if i was right. And they came back to say that indeed it was Hugh Fraser, though they weren't sure how David Suchet was credited. They also advised they would be notifying Audible about this as well. So I changed the narrator's name for my review.
No Story Chapterisation -I wouldn't buy this again
