three blind mice and other stories agatha christie

There are also no chapter headings, so you have no idea what story you’re about to listen to next! This was the first Audible purchase I’ve ever returned in over two years of using the service. I agree with other reviewers, the narration was horrible! I couldn’t understand what she was saying, and decided not to waste my time anymore, because those stories were even more boring and slow paced. Then, it moved on to some Miss Marple stories. The narrator was just okay, but made the most annoying characters, like Christopher Wren, sound even worse. The characters annoyed me everyone seemed somewhat neurotic. There was none of the lush, descriptive writing I got used to in MOTOE.

I didn’t realize how short Three Blind Mice was, and it felt very disjointed and random. I purchased it after thoroughly enjoying Murder on the Orient Express, the Kenneth Branagh version. I was surprised I didn’t like this better. I will seek out other Agatha Christie titles narrated by Hugh Fraser.Īnnoying narration and not the best stories I bought this collection as an Audible 'Daily Special' - it was a good value at the reduced price. I believe I might have enjoyed this collection more if Hugh Fraser had read all the stories. He gets the voice of Hercule Poirot just right for an audio book. The best of the narrators was Hugh Fraser. Her voice was excellent in the TV dramas, but is sibilant and hard to listen to in this collection. I own DVD's of all the Joan Hickson 'Miss Marple' programs and have watched them multiple times. I loved Joan Hickson as Miss Marple in the TV dramas produced by the BBC. I did not find these short stories as satisfying as the novels I have read. I suspect they were written before the novels. I'm not sure when this collection of short stories were written. Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot are my favorites.

Many of Agantha Christie's novels are timeless for me.
