About this listen

At a Hallowe'en party, Joyce - a hostile thirteen-year-old - boasts that she once witnessed a murder. When no one believes her, she storms off home. But within hours her body is found, still in the house, drowned in an apple-bobbing tub.

That night, Hercule Poirot is called in to find the "evil presence". But first he must establish whether he is looking for a murderer or a double murderer.

Mostly Mystery…Less Halloween

Can you imagine being murdered while bobbing for apples? I never understood that game. Now, I’ll never think of it as a game again!

Hugh Frazier did another amazing narration. This mystery held my interest. However, it wasn’t one of my favorites. My experience over the last 50, or so years, is that all Christie novels are worth reading. But some of them shine brighter than others.

I enjoyed this one and give it 3.75 stars.

Excellent for Halloween

This book was cozy without being “fluffy.” The characters and dialogue are intelligent, and there’s a decent twist ending. It’s well paced and easy to listen to,

4/5

Good story, but I was able to guess the ending halfway through and the voice actor's fake female voice for Ms. Oliver was underwhelming.

Fantastic story

Agatha Christie always intrigues the mind and her characters are fantastic. Hercule Poirot is an amazing character and very fun to read about.

Somewhat repetitive but a good story

This one still is fun, but repeats often on the concepts of increased issues of criminals with mental issues as the cause of their crimes.

Made for streaming

I had no problem walking and understanding, but would have liked the victim to be a bit older.I lost track of the maid and, she didn't do it..

A clever mystery that leaves the reader guessing

A clever mystery that leaves the reader guessing. A young girl outs drowned in a peculiar way and Peroit is called in. The characters are introduced as he interviews them. A flavor of the English countryside is added.

Just what you expect from Agatha Christie

If you could sum up Hallowe'en Party in three words, what would they be?

True Agatha Christie

What about Hugh Fraser’s performance did you like?

Very good orator

Any additional comments?

If you are an Agatha fan, this is one of her best, and I've read most of her works.

Just perfect

The narrator is excellent, from switching accents to keeping the information engaging. The story itself is well crafted, giving you every bit of evidence to make you feel like you're solving the mystery along with H.P.
