About this listen
Continuing the new look unabridged Poirot titles, read by Hugh Fraser.
As instructed, stenographer Sheila Webb let herself into the house at 19 Wilbraham Crescent. It was then that she made a grisly discovery: the body of a dead man sprawled across the living room floor.
What intrigued Poirot about the case was the time factor. Although in a state of shock, Sheila clearly remembered having heard a cuckoo clock strike three o’clock. Yet, the four other clocks in the living room all showed the time as 4.13. Even more strangely, only one of these clocks belonged to the owner of the house…

Brilliant narration by Hugh Fraser
Hugh Fraser is always reliably good, and in this story he gets a good range of characters to do. I don't care that much about the Christie novels themselves but I love the skill with with Fraser does the reading. Perfect comforting escapism.

Excellent book
This is my second audible book. I started listening since I don't have much time for reading novels. At first I was still doubtful as to whether listening a book would give the same feeling as reading a book, but after this time, I got completed attracted by it. Either because of Hugh Fraser's appealing voice, or of Agatha Christie's amazing writing, or both? I don't know. It's just as fascinating as the solid paper is.

Agatha Christie at her best
I have recently been re-listening to Agatha Christie novels. I am especially a fan of the great Hugh Fraser reading the books. In 'The Clocks' you are left guessing until the end. I recommend this!

Brilliant, but.....
This is my favourite Agatha Christie novel but I'm not entirely convinced that she wrote it. 🤔

One of her best
Our detective doesn't arrive until late in the story, nonetheless it is a brilliant story. I almost listened to it in one day.
