Geraldine James depicts renowned investigator Hercule Poirot with confidence and a delightful Belgian accent. Poirot searches for a murderer who wielded a stiletto during a bridge game. In precise, thoughtful tones, Poirot makes deductions from a collection of bridge scores left on the card table. James seamlessly switches to an impeccable British accent when Superintendent Battle enters the room. An eye-witness account is given by a window washer in a charming working-class accent. Christie fans will find the story intriguing as they follow the clues that Poirot adroitly drops as he inches toward a surprising conclusion.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Part of a new look for Hercule Poirot for the 21st Century. Read by Hugh Fraser, who plays Captain Hastings in the popular TV series. Mr Shaitana was famous as a flamboyant party host. Nevertheless, he was a man of whom everybody was a little afraid. So, when he boasted to Poirot that he considered murder an art form, the detective had some reservations about accepting a party invitation to view Shaitanas private collection. Indeed, what began as an absorbing evening of bridge was to turn into a more dangerous game altogether. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR007275315
