Murder in the Mews
by Agatha Christie
First, a note about narrators: I was disappointed after I picked this up to find that it was not narrated by Hugh Fraser, who's done most of the Poirot audiobooks prior to this. I was not a fan of Sir Nigel Hawthorne's Poirot accent. Then it turned out that he only narrated the first of the four stories in this collection, and Hugh Fraser narrated the other three, except he is not credited, even when he himself reads the credits at the end. The whole thing is very strange, but I was incredibly glad that Hawthorne did not narrate the whole thing. His Poirot sounded like a bad mimicry of Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast.
I was proud of myself for figuring out the first two of the four cases in this collection. Of course, I did not figure out all the details, but I did figure out the main points. The third story, which is more of a straightforward murder mystery, had me lost as usual, and the fourth story was a rather odd one where nothing is as it seems. Overall, I enjoyed this collection more than the previous Poirot short story collection, Poirot Investigates.
