David TimsonNARRATOR
Exotic locations are particularly exposing.
David TimsonNARRATOR
The Nile, the Orient Express, archeological digs in Mesopotamia and Egypt, Petra, or hotels in isolated places like the one on a secluded island in Evil Under the Sun, a Poirot novel.
David TimsonNARRATOR
In time, Agatha found Poirot tiresome, his fussy nature and appearance annoying, and in 1947 she attempted to retire him in a collection of short stories called The Labors of Hercules, where Poirot's cases mirror the tasks set for Hercules in classical legend.
David TimsonNARRATOR
But just like Conan Doyle, she found the public wouldn't let her, and Poirot continued to make periodical appearances until the 1970s.

Tina HodgkinsonPANELIST
There's just so many fabulous books that she has written.
Tina HodgkinsonPANELIST
and she also technically gives her voice to all the other narrators as well but that's been the side the other thing i do want to give a plug for is her autobiography and i know may maybe we're thinking that but i just absolutely adore it it's something that i dip in and dip out of so often i just love hearing agatha talking about her life and her experience And I find that makes it so much more meaningful when I'm actually reading the books.
RaeHOST
When it comes to this particular genre, I will always recommend Agatha Christie and her Poirot novels, or Miss Marple if she's more your go-to.
RaeHOST
My favourite Poirot remains Evil Under the Sun.
RaeHOST
I love the intricacies of the plot, the way that you are pulled into the story, and up to the moment where Poirot reveals all, you are left dangling in suspense, desperate to solve the murder.
RaeHOST
Another more recent addition to my mystery shelves is the novels of Suk Panu.
