    About this audiobook

    Part of a new look for Hercule Poirot for the 21st Century.

    Read by Hugh Fraser, who plays Captain Hastings in the popular TV series.

    Mr Shaitana was famous as a flamboyant party host. Nevertheless, he was a man of whom everybody was a little afraid. So, when he boasted to Poirot that he considered murder an art form, the detective had some reservations about accepting a party invitation to view Shaitana’s private collection.

    Indeed, what began as an absorbing evening of bridge was to turn into a more dangerous game altogether…

      Hugh Fraser has the perfect tone for these audio books. I am listening to all Agatha Christie’s books in order and it is always a treat when I find one read by him. The stories themselves are engaging, fascinating & surprising. They are true period pieces and this one is as masterful as only Agatha Christie can be
