Alice Ascher from Andover is the first victim. Next to her corpse is a spellbinding clue. It seems that a killer is knocking off his victims one-by-one, A through Z. Alphabetically speaking, Hercule Poirot fears that it's a matter of one down, twenty-five to go. Narrator: Hugh Fraser
Hercule Poirot has received a letter which is simply signed 'ABC'. The writer promises a mystery that is too difficult even for the great mind of the famous Belgian detective. Poirot is worried by the letter, but there seems to be no case to solve. And then the murders begin.
Hickory Dickory Dock is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie. It features her Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. The novel is notable for featuring Poirot's efficient secretary, Miss Felicity Lemon, who had previously only appeared in the Poirot short stories.
The crime-fighting careers of Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings have come full-circle-they are back once again in the rambling country house in which they solved their first murder together. Both Poirot and Great Styles have seen better days - but despite being crippled with arthritis, there is nothing wrong with the great detective's 'little grey cells'. However, when Poitot brands one of the seemingly harmless guests a five-times murder, some people have their doubts. But Poirot alone knows he must prevent a sixth murder before the curtain falls - and with this deadly apponent there won't be an encore...
An unusual invitation to dinner and an evening of bridge turns into a murder investigation for Hercule Poirot. His host, the eccentric Mr. Shaitana, also invited three other detectives and four people he greatly admires. When their host is found dead, the crime experts turn to the other guests to find the culprit. After all, Mr. Shaitana admired them because he believed each of them had already gotten away with murder. Considered the best of Christie's closed-door mysteries, Cards on the Table offers Poirot an intriguing cast of suspects on which to exercise his little grey cells. Read by Hugh Fraser
