“Hugh Fraser will be known to aficionados of PBS’s Mystery as Poirot’s sidekick, Captain Hastings. A talented narrator with a cultured, smooth voice, Fraser here employs a whispery, atmospheric delivery. This coloring gives a feeling of tightening nerves and tremulous anxiety. Just when you think you’ve spotted the bounder responsible, he up and drops dead, and you’re left scratching your head. A choice morsel for some dark and stormy night.”
