Another classic Poirot story brought to life by Hugh Fraser.

Beautiful young Elinor Carlisle stood serenely in the dock, accused of the murder of Mary Gerrard, her rival in love. The evidence was damning: only Elinor had the motive, the opportunity and the means to administer the fatal poison.

Yet, inside the hostile courtroom, only one man still presumed Elinor was innocent until proven guilty: Hercule Poirot was all that stood between Elinor and the gallows…

It was classical hercule
It met my expectation however I still believe that Hugh Fraser should narrate the books. Suchet was good but sometimes distracting.

Brilliant

I love this one. Both the book and the BBC live-action adaptation are really good, and they both star David Suchet! He's an excellent narrator, and not just for Poirot; he has a great range of voices and reads very well. What sets Sad Cypress apart in the Christie canon is the emotional conflict at the core, which gives the whole mystery an intensity and feeling of mounting danger. The mystery itself is excellent and has a very satisfying solution.

One of Christie's best
