What Audible Listeners Are Saying
4/5 stars — “excellent everything, but complicated story”
love the entire book, but the mysterious Affair at Styles was tough to follow, just not use to listening to such a complicated story— ER, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Great voice actors”
Both the voice actors were superb. They made it easy to distinguish the characters so it was very comfortable to listen.— Alvaro S, Audible listener
3/5 stars — “The Secret Adversary is good, but not the Poirot”
Alison Larkin does a great job narrating The Secret Adversary. The narration of the Poirot stories just can’t compare with the great versions narrated by Hugh Fraser and David Suchet.— gmcc180, Audible listener
