Ah!

(5 Sterne)

10/10 amazing! I did not have the book to read, so I am so glad I found this! I'm sure the details in the book are better, but this was marvelous! Agatha Christie did a phenomenal job coming up with the stories and characters, and these folks did a phenomenal job portraying them!

Another World

(5 Sterne)

I have enjoyed this very, very much. It took me to another place. I could imagine the people, the movements, and everything there is. The voice actors did a wonderful job and the music was pleasing. Keep up the good work!

One of the best dramatic readings

(5 Sterne)

I don't normally like dramatic readings but this one was excellent. The actors each performed their individual roles masterfully. It felt more like I was watching a movie than listening an audio book.

radio drama at its best

Thank you for making this BBC gem available to us. A great production, featuring a brilliant ensemble. Worth every star for its hours of listening-pleasure :-)

Wonderful story.. Worth listening

Beautiful story with top notch voice orchestration. All the actors did justice to their role. Its definitely work of art. You won't regret listening to it.

Transporting!

(5 Sterne)

Very well done, excellent quality and it makes the more confusing aspects of the book a lot clearer. A great adaptation that really 'transported' me to another place.

Amazing 110 out of 100. Perfect book, it's amazing how they used different voices for different roles instead of one voice. it's perfection I love it 🤩❤️

Great Production

(5 Sterne)

I really enjoyed this audio treasure! It was nice to hear the mood of the story through the inflection of the performers. Well done!
