Customer Reviews

Excellent Agatha Christie

Hugh Fraser is the perfect narrator for Agatha Christie books. Hercule Poirot and Ariadne Oliver banter back and forth and it is a delight to listen to this story. It kept me riveted from start to finish.

Excellent

Christie books never disappoint. I haven't read one of her books in years, but I am reminded again why she is the gold standard against which all others are measured. In solving this puzzling mystery, Poirot must carefully pick through the often foggy memories of the "elephants" to get to the truth of the matter. Of course, he does, in his own fashion. I enjoyed reading this and would recommend it to anyone.

"Elephants Can Remember" - A Book to Remember

"Elephants Can Remember" is one of my favorite Agatha Christie mysteries. It had a fascinating plot, engaging characters and a wonderful surprise ending. If you have never read a Christie mystery, I think this would be a great one to start with. I was so pleased to discover this book! I would, most definitely, highly reccommend it.

Unexpected :)

I've read almost all of Agatha Christie's books and this one is a masterpiece, in my opinion. The plot is good, the conclusion is wonderful and she has a way of dealing with the people's personalities that just makes you get in their minds and actually share their emotions. It's nice, I loved the book.

Beautiful, Captivating

This is a beautifully written mystery, definately one of Christie's best. Hercule Poirot is in his prime. The end of the book is positively horrifying, as it should be. I really could not put this chilling book down. Every mystery fan will enjoy this fabulous piece of work, and will also be shocked by the outcome in the end
