Returning from South America, Arthur Hastings meets with his old friend, Hercule Poirot, at his new flat in London. Poirot shows him a mysterious letter he has received, signed "A.B.C.", that details a crime that is to be committed very soon, which he suspects will be a murder.

10 o clock post and midnight trains to obscure rural places! Times certainly have changed!

In France, there used to be post rounds twice a day, even thrice in Paris I think.

About the trains : I was exactly thinking the same thing! One could go everywhere by train, even in the most remote places - provided one agreed to change trains multiple times and wait for hours every time, where the trip in full would take two or three hours in a car today!

Excellent version. I know John Moffat from The film Tom Jones (1963) where he plays mr. Square. Does anyone know the name of the music that is played at the beginning and end? I've been looking for it for a long time.

Good news--- there are decent ... even wonderful ... pieces of entertainment available to the public but you have to make an effort to find the stuff. I don't know what you've been watching or reading recently (the "visual rape" and such) but there's quality fiction in films, TV and audio if one looks beyond all the disposable crud that's constantly offered to the masses. And no gore or sexual assaults in your face. Bottom line, there is good story-telling there for the picking, content that will please the discerning viewer or listener.

Who is playing Hastings? The voice sounds vaguely familiar - Simin Williams ? ?

@@Wisepati…I think this is not an audiobook. It isn’t the exact text of the Christie novel. It feels more like a dramatization…something for radio, perhaps.

Poirot was conveniently incompetent in this story by the standards of his normal mental agility. He notes important clues and temporarily dismisses them in a most out-of-character fashion. This was necessary for the third and fourth murders to succeed in the plot. This version is fairly abridged and it makes that point seem even more obvious as events are played out in closer succession. The voice portrayals were very good though.
