In appearance Hercule Poirot hardly resembled an ancient Greek hero. Yet, reasoned the detective, like Hercules, he had been responsible for ridding society of some of its most unpleasant monsters. So, in the period leading up to his retirement, Poirot makes up his mind to accept just 12 more cases: his self-imposed "Labors". Each would go down in the annals of crime as a heroic feat of deduction.

All good except that the pronounciation is hard to comprehend at places, making it a struggle to listen. Nothing wrong in their narration..... they are true to their characters. It's only that the protagonist is a French Man and speaks with that accent and uses French words . Difficult for Indian listeners who do not have much knowledge of French language.

it's really nice.Hercule poirot's style of solving a case will keep you hooked till you finish a case. I really enjoyed all the case. my personal favorite was 'The there act tragedy'it was entirely full of surprise and climax is awesome too. John Moffats narration is so clean and simple, it was just like watching a movie with the eyes closed.
overall I would give it 9/10 for the direction and narration and 10/10 for entertainment......

Excellent performances
Would you consider the audio edition of Poirot's Finest Cases to be better than the print version?
No, because these stories are abridged.
What did you like best about this story?
Agatha Christie's books are always a pleasure, including the selections on this audiobook.
Have you listened to any of John Moffat and Full Cast ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have listened to a number and they are all very good.
Any additional comments?
I suggest reading the books first. Because these are abridged, if you are not familiar with the full book there is a sense of gaps in the plots. It is most noticeable in the ABC Murders, After the Funeral, and The Mysterious Affair at Styles.

A Treat for your "Little Grey Cells"
This compilation of Poirot mysteries is extremely well done. The voice actors do a great job of bringing the stories to life- and the music and sound effects enhance the listening experience. I like that these are radio plays instead of audiobooks- I love Christie's novels but these are much more fast paced. A few details get left out but the twists and turns Christie is known for are all still there. In this collection you get some of the best Poirot stories- my favorites being The Murder on the Orient Express and The Murder of Roger Akroyd. I'd recommend this collection to any mystery fan- it's a great intro to Agatha Christie's most famous detective and his most puzzling cases.

Always a good choice
I get tired of slogging around, looking for a book that will take me away, not insult me or inundate me with drivel and TMI, so I started going back to the old tried and true. Very entertaining and worth listening to. Holds your attention, entertains you, keeps you guessing. The actors are all very believable as portrayed and a bit different than just the one reader, which is a pleasant change.

John Moffat as Poirot is always wonderful.
Would you try another book from Agatha Christie and/or John Moffat and Full Cast ?
Of course. I have a large selection of them already- this purchase was to upgrade some cassette recordings to digital. I shall do more and I will continue to purchase programs I don't already own.
What did you like best about this story?
MIchael Bakewell does a great job adapting Christie's work and the performances are always first rate. I love the books but this allows me to revisit them without committing a huge amount of time. They're great for road trips as well.
Have you listened to any of John Moffat and Full Cast ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have enjoyed many of Moffat's performances before. In my opinion he and David Suchet are the best Poirot's ever- and I would have a hard time choosing a favorite between the two. Moffat is wonderful for this medium but he wouldn't work visually. His performance is spot on.
Do you think Poirot’s Finest Cases needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
A volume two would be nice, but I probably have many of them already. I'd probably still buy it.
Any additional comments?
If you're an Agatha Christie fan the BBC dramas are a great way to get to know her stories, if you're not going to sit down and read the books themselves that is. They have the tone and flavor of her books and are beautifully adapted- even the shorter ones. The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd is a favorite book and radio drama, wonderfully adapted with great performances.
This purchase would cost nearly $70 if bought separately. The price here is great. Go for it! Buy it now!

Great but...
Why oh why do Audible seem to be incapable of producing box sets which tell you where you are? There are 8 stories & all we get is Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3 etc. What happens if the listener wants to listen to, for example, Murder in The Orient Express first?
It is ridiculous not to break up a box set into the actual stories, or at least to give The listener a clue!
The performances themselves are excellent, but I cannot give 5 stars due to the impossibility of choosing which story one listens to.

Excellent Value for your Credit
Would you listen to Poirot's Finest Cases again? Why?
Of course. It's an excellent way to while away an hour or so listening to one of the Plays. 8 to choose from. Each story begins at the odd numbered chapters, so easy to choose the one you want.
What did you like best about this story?
8 Dramatiastions to choose from with the proverbial 'Jewel in the Crown' being, 'Murder on the Orient Express'. How can you go wrong.
I have long enjoyed BBC Dramatisations and these deliver the usual expected quality.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Maybe not all 8 stories in one sitting but certainly at least 1 story per sitting.
Any additional comments?
An engaging listen. The stories are brought to life by the music and effects as well as the actors

Fantastic,but why not compiled in broadcast order?
Whilst you don’t need to listen to Agatha Christie’s ‘Poirot’ particularly in any set order, I do wonder why these two collections have been organised so randomly. Is there any reason to their order? It isn’t in book or broadcast order. The first set contain the better stories and are more recently dramatised.
[Book number - Year published] Name [Date broadcast by BBC]
Poirot’s Finest Cases:
[13 1936] The ABC Murders [BBC 2000]
[31 1953] After the Funeral [BBC 1999]
[17 1937] Death on the Nile [BBC 1997]
[04 1926] The Murder of Roger Ackroyd [BBC 1987]
[10 1934] Murder on the Orient Express [BBC 1992]
[01 1920] The Mysterious Affair at Styles [BBC 2005]
[08 1932] Peril at End House [BBC 2000]
[11 1935] Three Act Tragedy [BBC 2002]
More of Poirot’s Finest Cases:
[24 1941] Evil Under the Sun [BBC 1998]
[22 1940] Sad Cypress [BBC 1992]
[14 1936] Murder in Mesopotamia [BBC 1994]
[09 1933] Lord Edgware Dies [BBC 1992]
[39 1969] Hallowe’en Party [BBC 1992]
[02 1923] Murder on the Links [BBC 1990]
[25 1942] Five Little pigs [BBC 1994]
Expect there will be a third, and possibly a fourth, compilation as there are a further 10 Poirot stories dramatised by BBC Radio featuring John Moffatt.
[Anybody notice the incorrect spelling of John Moffatt’s name on the ‘More’ compilation?]

Enchanting Comforting Enjoyable
Firstly this is fabulous value for money and the acting in each one is charming and engaging.
The word of Poirot and Captain Hastings need little introduction. However the magic and charm never fades. I can only recommend this audio dramatisation with out reserve. It is comforting uplifting and somehow safe.

A smorgasbord of delight
Would you consider the audio edition of Poirot's Finest Cases to be better than the print version?
While nothing quite compares to the joy of curling up with an Agatha Christie paperback, these dramatised versions of her magnificent characters and plots comes pretty damn close.
The performances effectively explore both the sublime and ridiculous (in the best way!) elements that drive each of these stories home. They add just enough 'tongue-in-cheek' to drive the story and glamour to perfectly capture the ambiance of interwar splendour.
Who was your favorite character and why?
My enduring love for Captain Hastings is only deepened by the fantastic performance of Simon Williams, who captured his sweet naïveté without slipping into buffoonery.
Have you listened to any of John Moffat and Full Cast ’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I have listened to many of John Moffat's performances as Poirot. I enjoy the way that he not only shows the characters admirable qualities but also his irascibility and foibles.
I was also pleased to hear casts that included many of my favourite voices on the radio and felt that they all excelled themselves. These dramatisations more than hold their weight with similar works by the cast.

Excellent cast recordings of classic mysteries

Really nice casting, good acting, and good scripting.

These are some of Agatha Christie's most famous mysteries.
What does John Moffat and Full Cast bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I like to listen to this book while relaxing at home or to fall asleep if I'm travelling or having trouble sleeping. These books are ideal for that. I can listen to the same stories again and again and enjoy them.
