Complete and Unabridged Hercule Poirot Mystery

Read by David Suchet.

Sir George and Lady Stubbs, the hosts of a village fête, hit upon the novel idea of staging a mock murder mystery. In good faith, Ariadne Oliver, the well known crime writer, agrees to organise their murder hunt.

Despite weeks of meticulous planning, at the last minute Ariadne calls her friend Hercule Poirot for his expert assistance. Instinctively, she senses that something sinister is about to happen…

Beware – nobody is quite what they seem!

The fact that it has been years since I read this book and couldn't remember who the killer definitely added to my enjoyment however this was just an added bonus as David Suchet had me hooked from the very beginning and I shall be listening to it again very soon no doubt.

Fantastic

While Dead Man's Folly isn't my favourite of Agatha Christie novel's, David Suchet's narration is, as always, wonderful. The author Ariadne Oliver is one of Poirot's more unusual friends and crops up from time to time in his books. When she summons him at short notice, you know that something interesting will follow.

Wonderful as always

This is not my favourite Poirot tale, but was beautifully performed and intriguing as ever. Like an earlier reviewer said, it was a long time since I last read this and I too couldn't remember whodunit, so thoroughly enjoyable.

Very enjoyable

Where does Dead Man's Folly rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I enjoyed it but it isn't in my favourite so wouldn't really rank.

Would you recommend Dead Man's Folly to your friends? Why or why not?

Not really.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I think he needs to speak a little louder in parts.

From a game to murder

What a joy to listen to this wonderfully written book, read by the very talented David Suchet. The end came to soon! I could listen to that man's voice for hours! A real treat.
