Customer Reviews

where's Hercule?

First, let me say that Hugh Fraser does his usual great job narrating this book. If you've listened to any of the other audio books he's done in this series, you know what I mean. If you haven't, well, pick one and give it a try. Now, the story is a decent one with lots of Christie craftsmanship. If you're used to Hercule Poirot from the popular BBC/PBS/A & E video series starting David Suchet, you may be a little surprised by this story. Yes, yes, all his personality is there, and Fraser does his voice well. The surprise is that at least 80% of the story develops before Poirot shows up to solve it. Again, absolutely fine as a mystery tale. It's just a bit limited on the famous Poirot mannerisms due to the way the story is constructed.

Cat Among Pidgeons

I am a great Agatha Christie fan and have all her books. I am very busy now so do not have time to sit down and reread them. It is great fun to listen to them in the car as I travel from place to place. I really cannot get enough of them

"Little Gray Cells"

The Little Gray Cells strike again in this fabulous book "Cat Among the Pigeons." At a very respectable British boarding school three teachers all die while looking in the gym for some very mysterious foreign jewls put there by a man before his death. Mixed in with also a bit of spying at the beginning and Poirot's wit and wisdom this book is fabulous and has an unpredictable but fruitful ending!

Absolutely stunning! A great find! Her best yet!

This was the very first Agatha Christie novel I read. I thought it was absolutely riveting. A great book for just about anyone, I would say. Reading this book got me hooked on Agatha Christie, though I suppose I was spoiled by it, because none of her books that I have read since then have measured up to this one. This book is a must-read, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys mystery. Remember, dont assume reading this book, for it will send you in the opposite direction of the solution. you will never guess what the ending is, that I guarantee! If anyone has comments for me, or a book for me to read, email me!

EXCELLENT MYSTERY THAT CONTINUALLY HAS YOU GUESSING!!

This is definitely my favorite Agatha Christie book. The element of a girls' school murder was classic. It was good without being to deep. Also, no matter how hard you try, you cannot guess the end, unti Mr. Poirot explains of course. Personally, I liked him not being in much of the book because it took a school girl to find out the mystery. I recommend this to anyone who wishes to read a frivolous, exciting, and definitely intersting book.
