Summary
Poirot had been present when Jane bragged of her plan to ‘get rid of’ her estranged husband. Now the monstrous man was dead. And yet the great Belgian detective couldn’t help feeling that he was being taken for a ride.
After all, how could Jane have stabbed Lord Edgware to death in his library at exactly the same time she was seen dining with friends? And what could be her motive not that the aristocrat had finally granted her a divorce?
Critic reviews

Lord Edgware Dies
Hugh Fraser did his brilliant job of narrating this story.
Agatha Christie did her brilliant job of keeping you guessing all the way through.
There were lots of twists and turns but this time I got there in the end and got there in the end and got the right culprit.
looking forward to listening to my next audio book.

Christie at her best!
Wonderful classic Christie with a deliciously awful villain that kept me guessing even when I 'knew' the answer.
Captain Hastings plays a big part as Poirot's sidekick and is decidedly unsycophantic. A very nice change.

Best of the best
Hugh Fraser at his very best telling the cleverest of the Christie books. If you do nothing else this year, enjoy this Audiobook.

Fiendishly clever!
Although published in 1933, Christie's characters stand the test of time brilliantly. The book weaves humour with unprecedented psychological profiling, her description of a serial killer is not only remarkably inciteful but way ahead of its time. This plot is one of her most cunning, peppered with interesting suspects and red herrings.
Fraser's narration is unsurpassed, breathing life into movie stars, aristocrats, cabbies and firm favourites: Poirot and his friend Hastings.
Poirot, egotistical and vain as ever about his marvellous moustaches, ridicules his friend's attempt as an old toothbrush, whilst Hastings describes his pompous friend as "trying to look modest and failing" and "intensely irritating at times". Their dysfunctionally functional relationship combined with astute observational comedy sets Christie's books apart from any others in crime fiction. It is self deprecatingly british, she never takes herself too seriously, but don't be fooled into thinking it's simple because of this... It is fiendishly clever!

Great story and narration
Very well read, Hugh fraser always does such clear voices without the need to resort to over the top accents. I have always liked this story and think it is very well plotted. I very much enjoyed listening.

Lord Edgware Dies
Agatha Christie’s books are my go to books when I’m struggling to find something to read. I have them in pb, audio and ebooks and I never tire of them. It’s interest to compare them to the tv series and find the differences. In this one it’s the description of Japp…anyway as usual I enjoyed this tale of Poirot being duped and of course Hugh Fraser reading..

Another good story
It was interesting to hear this case as I could remember the TV adaption at all so was fully in the edge of my seat as I worked on my uni work. I was not my favourite of Poirot's cases but I enjoyed it non the less.

Another superb story by Agatha Christie
The Murder of Lord Edgware supplies more twists and turns for Poirot.
This is superbly narrated by Hugh Fraser worth the money.
