Reviews

[Christina Dongowski · Rating 3 out of 5]

Gute Sprecher*innen und auch gute Geschichten, ich mag besonders Hercule Poirot und der Plum Pudding. Abzüge gibt’s aber dafür, dass die Geschichten gekürzt sind, was leider nicht richtig deutlich auf der Verpackung gesagt wird. Eine echte Unsitte deutscher Christie-Ausgaben, gerade bei den Hörbüchern.

Holiday related murder crimes solved by two of my favorite investigators- this can't go wrong. This audiobook included the rather famous Plumpudding case (which I know and love), one case told after Christmas dinner as a nice past time and one from which I'm not sure how it fits in this set. All in all very enjoyable and a nice background sound to wrap Christmas presents with.

"Weihnachten mit Miss Marple und Hercule Poirot" by the famous crime author Agatha Christie is a German short story collection of three holiday related murders. We follow the beloved detectives Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot solving three crime cases, which I found very enjoyable. I give this festive story collection three stars.
