Third Girl, A Hercule Poirot Mystery by Agatha Christie|| Complete || Read by Hugh Fraser

[@fr57ujf]

Hugh Fraser is an outstanding narrator. Great voice changes and emotion.

[@reverendeirenallewellyn-cr4172]

Yes, he has one of the best that I have ever listened to! Have you heard Sir Christopher Lee read her stories yet?

[@patriciarigg5505]

Best narrator ever!

[@jovanabackovic]

I love Hugh Fraser's narration of AC, his female characters are absolutely amazing, Ariadne especially.

[@goodparsiwife3]

Mrs Oliver's voice is just 👌👌

[@riskkerroo724]

Most of the time I prefer a male narrator because I think they can do better female and obviously male voices better that a women doing male voices.. he is fantastic lol

[@vermont53-19]

😊

[@martineokeeffe9326]

I came here to listen to HF's Ariadne yet again. It's perfection - I second other posters on this. I would love to know what Zoë Wannamaker thinks of it. There aren't many men - or women - who can make a hair flounce audible, but Hugh does; he just does. Sublime.

[@Nicky-n4p]

Hugh Fraser is so talented. He brings every character to life, but Mrs Oliver is my absolute favourite.

[@katescarratt4267]

I sometimes listen to the ones with Mrs Oliver in them just to hear Hugh Fraser do the voice!

[@Brembelia]

Excellent job. Of all the Poirot (or Maigret), this is the best narration. Getting Poirot's accent right; not too heavy and not slipping into pure English, either, is tantamount to capturing an authentic and authoritative recreation of Poirot, otherwise, the whole story comes apart. Here, it's just right. Hugh Fraser plays the other characters well, too, with perfect timing and pacing against a cozy background of a crackling fire. 😊 After listening to other offerings, I realized how hard it is to bring these stories to life. This goes to show what a skilled thespian Hugh Fraser truly is and we very much appreciate him and his work. Thanks to all for bringing this to us to enjoy. 🎉🎉🎉

[@richardichard4237]

You enjoy the annoying cackling fire....????

[@katescarratt4267]

Agree with everything you say, apart from the noise of the fire! I find that distracting, and if you happen to be listening in the summer, just plain daft! 😂

[@hiltrud2001]

​@@richardichard4237for my part I find the fire soothing and that's the reason KZbin doesn't interrupt with promotions every two minutes

[@hx1487]

This put me to sleep last night, hopefully tonight I will be able to listen till the end. Amazing job! Thank you Hastings!

[@ceciliaflorencenapier4595]

Spring, summer, autumn or winter Hugh Fraser’s readings of Agatha Christie’s writings are wonderful to listen to, never failing to give great pleasure!

[@DonnaEnochs]

Hugh Fraser narrative was spectacular. Thank you.

[@katiedotson704]

A big cozy chair, a favorite beverage, the crackle and glow of a fire, and a wonderful book. For a little while, the rest of the world with it's chaos and turmoil falls away.

😊 I see and appreciate the humor of having this read by Hugh Fraser aka Captain Hastings

[@annep.1905]

Mr. Fraser has quite the chance to show off his acting skills. Truly, audiobooks bring out the best (or sometimes worst) in actors.

[@Weirdkauz]

I really can't help but join the omniscient praise for Mr. Fraser! Just with his voice alone he creates spaces with groups of people, and I swear, the moment that elder porter spoke up I absolutely saw him step up to Poirot and the younger Porter, taking his cap off, to the dead woman. Agatha Christie has been with me on and off through 50 years now and the older I get, the more I appreciate her wit. What a treat this here upload is! Thank you so very much!

[@beechnut8779]

I have listened to books on tape for many years and without a doubt Hugh Fraser is the best reader I have ever heard! I wonder if he reads anything other than AC works...

[@Nicky-n4p]

Have you listened to Simon on Bitesized Audio channel? He's a really good narrator.

[@kellynewman8492]

The fireplace sounds make me keep thinking my phone is having issues. Lmbo. Love, love, love these books! Thank you so much!!

[@richardichard4237]

I HATE IT.....!!!

[@yesterdayitrained]

I’m only a few minutes in, but I find Poirot judging the young girl by her outer appearance- clothes, disheveled hair, even her possible poor hygiene- hysterical juxtaposed with her judging him for being … “old”. It’s ironic, amusing and subtle. This is good writing! Fantastic narration too!

[@angiechaney6240]

Yes! And then how he keeps bringing up that he is "old", it's comical.

[@yesterdayitrained]

@@angiechaney6240 Indeed! 😂

[@veronikaljungberg7149]

Oh! I Hadn't noticed that 😊

[@Badassoldwoman]

What I noticed is how strongly he judges her vs. how open minded he is about her boyfriend. What's up w/that?

[@susanfontana2018]

The way of the world back then…..plus he was trying for awhile to get information from the boyfriend….when Poirot is trying to obtain information he acts differently and treats people differently

[@triggabun]

I love this narrator. As much as I love the fella who did the Alchemist. It's a wonderful listen. Soothes me more than anything. Thank you

I am glad that there are diverse tastes and something for everybody and that people are enjoying the fire. For me, I am off to find a version without the crackling sounds. Every crackle distracts me and makes me forget what he was talking about! (I should probably look into an ADD evaluation...). Enjoy!

[@anti-popfpv4638]

Ironic they took the series off YT recently. I love the intro music. And have found older movies to be interesting. But the series will always rule
