Great performance but stories can be predictable

Always finishes up the same. Poirot gathers everyone together for the big reveal. The performances were quite entertaining and I will definitely be listening to more radio dramatizations.

MARVELLOUS

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely! The mystery selection and the dramatized version adds flavor to the entire listening experience.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Poirot's Finest Cases?

The Murder on the Orient Express. My favorite character has been Ms. Debenham and Natalie. Debenham more. Love you Debbie!

Which scene was your favorite?

The last meeting where Hercule presents with 2 versions of the murder, the confessions from the murderers and where Captain Burke and the Doctor give their verdict on how the murder was committed on The Orient Express.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The Murder on the Orient Express where the Italian diver meets Hercule Poirot and makes a confession. Touching. Couldn't have been expressed any better!

Love those mysteries

I enjoyed listening to Poirot's Finest Cases as this super sleuth uses his superior powers of observation and reasoning to solve difficult cases. The use of dramatization is infinitely more entertaining than a single reader. Enjoy.
