Publisher's summary

This collection of short stories from the undisputed Queen of Crime, perfectly illustrating the incredible breadth of the author’s talent; from sinister murder mysteries to light-hearted romances.

All great crime writers have their favourite creations. Similarly, every great sleuth has his, or her, own preferred method of deduction.

Take the charming Parker Pyne, who relies upon an intuitive knowledge of human nature to solve the Problem at Pollensa Bay. Or Mr Satterthwaite, who seeks inspiration through his collaboration with the enigmatic Mr Quin in The Harlequin Tea Set mystery. Then, of course, there’s Poirot, whose measured analysis of motive and opportunity is tested to the full in Yellow Iris, when he receives an anonymous call about a matter of life and death.

Excellent but incomplete

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Hugh Fraser is an excellent reader. Unfortunately only four stories are included:
Problem at Pollensa Bay
The Second Gong
Yellow Iris
The Harlequin Tea Set

Be warned: the official book has four more stories which are NOT included.
The Regatta Mystery
The Love Detectives
Next to a Dog
Magnolia Blossom

Therefore 3 stars

Stories are missing - too short

the original book has 4 more stories than this audiobook, hence the lowered rating. felt a bit cheated paying the price on this for half an audiobook.

otherwise, the narration is spectacular as usual and A.C. short stories are nothing if not breezy enjoyment on a Sunday afternoon.

Love Hugh Fraser, great selection of stories

I am extremely fond of listening to ‘Hastings’ (Hugh Fraser) narrating Agatha Christie so probably biased. However, love this collection of stories as it encompasses so many different repeating characters …Poirot, Parker Pyne, Harley Quinn … love it!!!
