Agatha Christie: The Capture of Cerberus (2009)

Poirot is holidaying in Geneva, trying to keep his mind off the impending war, when a chance encounter with an old acquaintance leads to an investigation involving a Nazi dictator and an enormous Hound.

David and Hugh are both excellent narrators . Thank you for these .

[@lisaforte1575]

So charming! Mr. Suchet does all the voices like a favorite grandfather.

[@rosiemcnaughton9933]

David is my favorite Poirot. The voice of the countess reminded me of Miss Piggy...LOL

[@ceciliaflorencenapier4595]

David Suchet reading the story, beautifully.

[@peggyc5078]

What a talent to be able to have so many voices!

[@JennyandtheCats]

You can hear David Suchet laughing at himself when he does that Countess! He and Hugh Frasier are my favorites!

[@barbarabarclay6769]

Me too. Bothare marvelous.

[@feralbluee]

David Suchet is such a brilliant actor! :) 🎭🎬✨🌹🌱

[@jdok1000]

David Suchet’s voice is rich velvet. Could listen to this 24/7

[@judikingsman6132]

David Suchet. Most excellent. 💕

[@desleykakoulidisgallaway3382]

Extraordinary talent David, those characters he voices truly amazing, even the Russian 😂

[@watchersmith806]

Would love to hear all of the Labors of Hercules with Hercule Poirot!

[@tgdomnemo5052]

... narreted by Mr. Suchet, my personal favourite ! Matched only by Mr. Fraser 😉 🖖🏻

Thank you!❤️❤️

This was really enjoyable, thank you

[@Kwk16534]

The Countess voice is ridiculous it's so campy it's I had to laugh😂😂

[@Loobylooto2]

Thank you so much - I thought I’d heard or read all of Agatha Christie’s work but just lately I’m coming across new to me posts Wonderful Happy new year!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Greatstoriesyoulllove]

You are welcome…happy new year

[@ProffyChaos]

David Suchet will always be the definitive Poirot. All others bring a little bit of Poirot but he just brings it all together.

I CAN NOT PRAISE THIS ENOUGH!!!! THANK YOU IT IS BRILLIANT!!!!

[@dellabrown6015]

I loved it

Wonderful. 😀Thank you so much.

[@jillwild8515]

Brilliant narration. .thankyou hugh.

[@jamesboyleii6332]

The Countess must be related to Gru.😊

[@annetteholtzhausen809]

Who is the narrator? His voice kept me spellbound.

[@jennyhirschowitz1999]

I agree. Captivating narration….. I’m settling in for the night with this and my knitting and putting the rest of the world far, far away. Miss Jenny in a very mild Manhattan.

[@2msvalkyrie529]

The narrator is an obscure actor : David Suchet ? Not sure what he's actually done in his career ?His French accent is fairly awful . His Russian accent is even worse .!

[@MultiSirens]

David Suchet! He is the reader?

[@Greatstoriesyoulllove]

@@MultiSirens yes

[@sherylwilson6859]

David suchet ..the best poirot ever

[@auldburdlaughin]

For a moment I thought the Countess was Peter Ustinov.. I admit I'm on my second g&t. Loving the story. Now having listened to the end, Peter Ustinov does sound rather like Miss Piggy 😅 - did enjoy the story though. Time for another gin...

[@brucealbert4686]

Hmmm. I wonder which Reichian country the Central Empire is supposed to be?

[@alecblunden8615]

Presumably a reference to the Germanic realms- either Germany ,or Austria Hungary although both had ceased to be "Empires" in 1918.

[@mickho7910]

This isn’t the Agatha Christie short story The Capture of Cerberus from her book The Labours of Hercules. What rewriting is this?

[@Greatstoriesyoulllove]

This was the rediscovered original version which was found in 2004 when 73 of her notebooks were unearthed at her family home. She rewrote it for the version you know. Hope this clarifies things Mick.

[@mickho7910]

@@Greatstoriesyoulllove Thanks! The Secret Notebooks is new to me. I’ll have to order a copy now.

[@stephaniehand503]

great

[@patriciaramsey5294]

Normally I love Suchet reading Poirot, but I could not get into this story.

[@elaineedgar2913]

I couldn’t get into this sadly.

[@rogerknights857]

At a bit after 19:, shouldn’t “ingenious” have been “ingenuous “?

[@burnettis1]

Are we sure.... This is an agatha Rubbish in the extreme!! 🤣🇮🇪

[@ronpearson998]

I didn't like these,

[@Greatstoriesyoulllove]

Ha, I think you are in the minority Ron, but at least you have plenty of other stories to choose from…

[@Loobylooto2]

@@Greatstoriesyoulllove There’s always one!

[@mavisemberson8737]

@@Greatstoriesyoulllove Agatha Christie may have been right to put it away for a while. I like the other stories in the Labours of Hercules . But her characterisation of Hitler was not diplomatically suitable before the War or PostWar . So I join Ron Pearson

[@moonshadow3946]

@@Greatstoriesyoulllove Thank you so much for posting these Agatha Christie stories. I thought that I had read most of her works, but I have been pleasantly surprised to hear some of her stories that are completely new to me. Bless you for doing this for us.❤️ I am now severely disabled and your KZbin channel has given me great pleasure and hours of real enjoyment. Thanks again. All my very best wishes from Rose.❤️👏

[@elaineedgar2913]

No l,can’t get to grips with Suchet reading his own character! He isn’t half as good as Hugh Fraser who excels as Poirot AND with all the other characters. 🥱

[@holystarjourneys5781]

Fraser's reading is nowhere near as good as this...

[@nicolamorgan5031]

I like both suchet and fraser. Both excellent. Just different from one another.

[@petermw88]

Totally agree! Hugh Fraser slips so easily into all the characters.❤

[@nicolamorgan5031]

Well Fraser narrates his own character - Hastings - and Suchet IS Poirot so not sure how narrating a book differs from speaking the lines in a movie/TV series

[@TheAnnavee]

I agree
