Summary
The list made absolutely no sense at all. But, reasoned Poirot, if this was merely a petty thief at work, why was everyone at the hostel so frightened?

Lacks the characteristic Christie zing.
Any additional comments?
Agatha Christie was always an excellent writer and this book is good a story, and it is well read by "Captain Hastings", although his French-Belgian accent could be improved. However for me as a long standing Christie fan, these more recent books are definitely not as good as those set in earlier periods. I would think that as she got older and times and morés changed, Christie was less in touch with the era, and her characters and story don't have quite the same power as those set in the pre war period.

Enjoyable whodunnit.
Another great story by Agatha Christie and superbly narrated by Hugh Fraser. Poirot isn't in the story as much as you think a lot of the work is done by Inspector Sharpe that's why the books are better than the shows Poirot does figure it out and Inspector Sharpe is a great character not a dumb policeman.

Hickory, Dickorey Dock
This is not my favourite Agatha Christie novel but the performance is good. When listening I forget that it isn't David Suchet as Poirot!

Good story - high body count for a Christie
As usual, great narration by Hugh Fraser. Poirot in his later years, a nice little plot with plenty of twists.

Typically convoluted Christie and inscrutable Poirot
Interesting if complicated plot and characters not quite as engaging as usual but well read by Hugh Fraser as usual.
Likeable whodunnit that’ll keep you guessing

Great story
Thoroughly enjoyable. Fast paced, and narrated/performed superbly, as always, by the brilliant Hugh Fraser.

Buy one Miss Lemon, get one free!
From 1955 post-war Britain, this book is set in a diverse student household. It's an amazing insight into what a newly multi racial Britain was really like. Christie has always picked up on the more subtle aspects of human behaviour, and this is no exception. Its also interesting to see how jobs, like Miss Lemons sister's, have disappeared too.
Hugh Fraser's narration is as excellent as ever.

Great Adaptation
Hugh Fraser (Captain Hastings opposite David Suchet in Poirot) is fantastic at reading this story. His voice brings the storyline to life. Brilliant narration & an excellent story from Agatha Christie.

Hickory Dickory
Sadly found this difficult to get into so I’ve decided to leave it for now. I’m not sending it back just abandoning it. I just found it busy and not holding my concentration. Will revisit.
