Agatha Christie is and was the queen I’ve mystery. As a visually impaired person who can no longer read print, audio and narration can make or break book for me. As I listen to how your channel is developing and reaching at next level and Seoul, happy for you, and so grateful as well. Thank you so much the best to you.😄🌞😪💐 6:50

Thank you so much! You were one of the earliest supporters of this channel! (And the first to request Agatha Christie) So grateful that you did!

I have a channel recommendation for you. If this channel creator doesn’t mind, not trying to take anything away from this excellent channel. A dear friend I found yrs ago, MJAM from London. He narrates all characters & you will not believe you’re listening to only one person! he is excellent, and offers a wide range of genre, some thing there for everyone. Also has an original comedy channel, Matthew Jones. He Writes, acts, produces all. So funny! Yall check him out ☑️👍🏼

[@tlflora]

Kim -- have you heard Ukridge by PG Wodehouse? It MUST MUST be narrated by Jonathan Cecil I hope you get this chat and it brings you as much humor as it has for me. He is such a talented narrator and this channel is also my favorite! Ive listened dozens of times and I still laugh my butt off!! So much fun.

[@kimhernandez2541]

Hi, it’s been a while since I’ve listened to Wood house, but I don’t mind going back and checking it out again. Yes, I love this channel as well. Evil under the sun will always be a favorite for me. I did get to see the movie as well. Loved it. A new video dropped today so I’m looking forward to that one as well. Happy listening.😪😃💛

Hugh Fraser is THE best narrator -he has a wonderful voice and manages the female voice too1

[@nofs1448]

I disagree- his accent for Poirot sounds Asian instead of French half the time. This narrator and of course David Suchet are much better,

[@lindaj748]

Unfortunately this narrator is not Hugh Fraser. No idea who he is but his French accent is appalling! 😢

[@nofs1448]

[@cr3237]

​@@lindaj748You're correct, this is definitely NOT Hugh Frazier. Not even a passable imitation.

[@mariameere5807]

I remember after the first time I heard him read an audiobook, I left a comment exactly like this, practically word for word! His female character’s becoming more and more “real and natural” as the book progresses until the next time you hear him performing 🎭 it seems natural right from the beginning! Not distracting from the reigning Queen of mystery’s works one little bit!!! Brightest of Blessings from London🙏✨☘️ 🪬✨💙🌍💙 ✨🪬

[@marylee8372]

Hey Mitch! Sorry I forgot to write to you this morning after listening to your new Poirot. Your new reader is okay when he's speaking English but his "French" accent is very difficult to understand. Please tell him to be a bit less over the top. If you have the same guy do more Poirots please, please, please tell him that the French word for mister is NOT pronounced "mon sewer." The letter "N" is silent so the correct pronunciation is closer to "miss your." Everytime your reader said "mon sewer" it gave me a very unpleasant jolt. All of that being said, I appreciate the effort that you have gone to to give us listeners Agatha Christie. Thanks very much 💕

[@helenamcginty4920]

I just heard the butler mispronouncing 'Monsieur' . As I understand it from oral history of the period plus reading many servants, esp upper servants like butlers and housekeepers were appalling snobs but I suspect that this butler would not only know how to pronounce Monsieur but would not insult a guest by mispronouncing it either. In the class ridden 1920s and 30s or even today English servants were often depicted as little more than comedy walk on parts.

[@clarissah8999]

I’ve read, listened to many audiobooks and seen many of the Hercule Poroit stories. This narrator is perfectly fine. Everyone’s work is different. Every actor’s work is different and unique. IMO this audio portrays the character just as the author intended. That’s what is important.
