Hugh Fraser narrates Christie's six-hour debut with the measured authority of someone who knows exactly where the solution is and has no intention of rushing you there — there is a pleasure in his pacing, a confidence that the puzzle will reward patience. Eight of the ten picks are also by Fraser, and all ten are Christie titles, so this is essentially a list that says: if you want more Poirot read by the actor who played Hastings for decades, here is a very good place to start.
