About this listen

When Cora Lansquenet is savagely murdered with a hatchet, the extraordinary remark she made the previous day at her brother Richard's funeral suddenly takes on a chilling significance. At the reading of Richard's will, Cora was clearly heard to say, "It's been hushed up very nicely, hasn't it.... But he was murdered, wasn't he?"

In desperation, the family solicitor turns to Hercule Poirot to unravel the mystery....

This title was previously published as Funerals Are Fatal.

I keep listening to these Agatha Christie novels and the main reason is Hugh Fraser's incredible ability to give life to each character.

With many characters, multiple locations, time frames, movement and clues, the author keeps us directly in the action. The narrator distinguishes characters smoothly and subtly, with impressive voice and accent skill.

A classic Agatha Christie mystery and talented, easy-listen reader.

This is Hugh Fraser's best performance I've listened to so far, he was fabulous! Of course, he had some great material to work with, this may also be my favorite story so far.

Eell, Alter the funeral is a good story, but who knows Agatha Crristie books, is impossible do’t compare.
This book is a typical tale of mystery, with a wonderful investigation, which as always happens in the author's books, surprise the reader when the revelation of who the murderer was.

Great, but there are better books

Agatha Christie's stories still hold up well over time, in spite of items (even plot-dependent items) that are out-of-date these days. This is a good mystery, performed well by Hugh Fraser, and very enjoyable. Hercule Poirot is a character whom I find a little over-bearing, but fortunately he doesn't show up until about half-way through.

an oldie but a goodie
