I was a little disappointed after I listened to this tape set because I thought that David Suchet and Hugh Fraiser would be reading the mysteries together but they don't. Hugh reads some of the mysteries and David Suchet reads the others. Other than that they were what I expected and I love the ones that Suchet does. He does a perfect Poirot. Fraiser is all right but sometimes his voice goes so low it's hard to hear if you're driving in a car
