About this listen

A CD edition of this popular Christie mystery. Read by Hugh Fraser, Captain Hastings in the popular TV series.

The house guests at Styles seemed perfectly pleasant to Captain Hastings; there was his own daughter Judith, an inoffensive ornithologist called Norton, dashing Mr Allerton, brittle Miss Cole, Doctor Franklin and his fragile wife Barbara , Nurse Craven, Colonel Luttrell and his charming wife, Daisy, and the charismatic Boyd-Carrington.

So Hastings was shocked to learn from Hercule Poirot’s declaration that one of them was a five-times murderer. True, the ageing detective was crippled with arthritis, but had his deductive instincts finally deserted him?…

oh my god. I could not have imagined an end more perfect for the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Curtain certainly lives upto its reputation and delivers. I still have goosebumps.

Stunning masterpiece

I read Curtain many years ago. Almost 25. I remember loving it then. And when I heard the podcast on audible, I loved it even more. Poirot's frailty is so beautifully captured by Christie and Hugh Fraser that I wonder whether it was autobiographical for them. Hastings, the ever loyal assistant also battles his own demons. This book has truly been an eye opener... err a ear opener of sorts. A must listen.

Agatha Christie's best ever
