Can't get enough of the Hercule Poirot Mysteries? You've probably already experienced Hercule Poirot in book form, DVD version and on television, but here's a fourth method. It is great fun. I just pop one of these disks in my car CD player and my tedious communute to and from work becomes a time of pure enjoyment as I roll along the highway. The Labours Of Hercule Poirot is by far my favorite. As usual, Amazon did a great job of processing and mailing me this order in a timely manner. I highly recommend this product.

These are twelve short stories of about half an hour each. Many are split between two CDs. Since they are short stories, the plot and character development is not as extensive as in novels.

Hugh does a good job of changing his voice for each character which makes following the story easy.

The 12 labors is a fun audio presentation. I think it is a creative and illuminating book that presents Hercule in a good light. It occasionally gives insight into his thinking process, which sounds great, but in practice slows everything down. The reader / listener actually wants to be surprised by his thinking process, and then enjoy it afterwards, not during the actual solving. In all the books I've listened to, this is the only one where that happens, so I still recommend it highly.

Agatha Christie Audio CD (BOOKS ON TAPE) are absolutely wonderful . I have purchased all of mine from Amazon.com and will be purchasing more in the future from Amazon. Her Mysteries of Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot and other characters are absolutely wonderful . When listning on CD with head-phones on and your eyes closed you start an unbelievable journey every time . If you love Great Mysteries you have to try these , you'll love every exciting minute of these("SITTING ON THE EDGE OF YOUR CHAIR") stories ! If you want the best price , look no furter than Amazon.com as they have the best prices I have ever seen on these wonderful CD series . You can buy with Confidence and Trust from Amazon , there the Best. Sincerely, Pat Simmons

I am probably too biased to review anything done by Agatha Christie. The story is well read, easy to understand and provided hours of enjoyable listening. Hercule Poiret, although not my favorite Christie character, is still an excellent character.
