![]() What? He’s married? I don’t recall any other mention of his beloved in any of the other books I’ve read, nor in the TV miniseries. One thing that DID capture my attention (however briefly) was mention of Hastings’s wife. Most of the scenarios seemed incredibly far-fetched and unrealistic. I never really knew what this syndicate was after (other than world domination) or why. There are multiple attempts on Poirot’s and/or Hastings’s lives. The action takes place over several years. Originally these were short stories and Christie tried to weave them together into an espionage thriller, but without much success. That sounds like a James Bond novel synopsis more than a murder mystery featuring the famous Belgian detective and his “little grey cells,” and that is the crux of the problem. ![]() Digital audiobook narrated by Hugh Fraser 1* Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings are on the trail of an evil syndicate trying to take over the world. ![]()
