Books Like Evil Under the Sun (G. K. Hall's Agatha Christie Series)

Read more

David Suchet bringing Hercule Poirot to audio is a different kind of authority than Hugh Fraser's — where Fraser's version carries the warmth of a sidekick's loyalty, Suchet's Poirot is the television character given new life in sound, the Belgian formality intact and the little grey cells very much in evidence across six highly efficient hours. The island-locked setting concentrates Christie's methodology. All ten recommendations are other Christie titles from various narrators, a broad author survey for readers who want to stay in the golden-age detective world and explore Poirot and Miss Marple beyond the Suchet recordings.
