Evil Under the Sun: A Hercule Poirot Mystery: The Official Authorized Edition

“She springs her secret like a land mine.” —Times Literary Supplement (London)

“Considered by many to be one of the very best Agatha Christie mysteries, this macabre tale has lost none of its crisp intrigue since it was first published in 1941…Each of the well-developed characters is suspect, and listeners will constantly be changing their bets as to whodunit. British stage actor Suchet, who many know as the definitive Poirot from the Public Television Mystery! series was an obvious choice for the reader of this production, having won an Audie award for reading Christie’s Mysterious Affair at Styles in 1997. Suchet gives an outstanding and highly entertaining performance, obviously taking great zeal in the task of fleshing out Christie’s colorful lot of characters.” —Publishers Weekly (audio review)

“Poirot attempts to get away from it all at the seaside, where he encounters Christie’s usual international cast of characters. Since many of these eccentrics are stereotypes, David Suchet’s wonderful rendering of the henpecked husband dutifully uttering ‘yes, darling,’ the machine-gun verbal delivery of Westin, and the always volatile mix of English and Irish accents and temperaments all combine to surpass a straight reading. These delicious ingredients mix successfully with the complex story of the beautiful Arlena’s murder and the many suspects who all possess motive, means, and opportunity, as Poirot cleverly reveals.” —AudioFile

“Hercule Poirot will live on forever because, like Chaplin’s Little Tramp (that other immortal in moustache and bowler hat) he has the ability to solve the problems of the world.” —Alan Bradley, New York Times bestselling author, praise for the author
