Variable quality narrators. Simon Jones excellent narration saves this collection.

This is a mixed bag, but it has grown on me with a repeat listening - Simon Jones’ narration of Who Killed Roger Ackroyd is absolutely top class and brings out the comic elements of the story - especially the doctor’s gossiping sister. Alison Larkin is quite good narrating two lesser known Agatha Christie novels. James Warwick employs some bizarre accents and the court scene in The Mysterious Affair at Styles is a most unconvincing episode of barristers yelling at witnesses. His Poirot accent is very laboured. This detracts from the story.
I enjoy hearing the unabridged stories as they reveal Agatha Christie’s humour and excellent observation of character. I wish Simon Jones had narrated them all.
