À propos de cet audio

Well, it's no wonder. The plot - suspicion for an elderly woman's murder falls on her mysterious lodger - is from Agatha Christie. The wonderful character happens to be the world's most famous sleuth, Hercule Poirot.

Another classic Agatha. My only complaint is that there are so many characters that it was hard to keep them straight in my head.

Great read!

despite what other reviewers say I just could not get into this book. I tried over and over. There seemed to be too many pointless characters who contributed nothing to the story line. The plot didn't go anywhere. Extremely slow moving.
