PERFORMANCE - Throughout most of the book, Mr. Alternatively, I often just continued and was completely lost at the end of the story. I found myself lost several times and having to rewind and rehear to understand. In a mystery which is, say, 30 minutes in duration, you can't afford to "zone out" for two or three minutes without missing something important.
Unfortunately, I'm used to much longer books and, as I'm commuting to and from work, my mind wanders a bit. My only negative comment is that, since the stories are short, there is very little "fluff." Everything is important, so you must listen carefully. I think the mysteries are well-written and interesting.
The publisher's summary gives hints about the different stories so I won't repeat that here, except to say that there's a bit of everything - kidnapping, murder, robbery, etc. The star is a Belgian detective named Hercule Poirot, a small man with a big ego who always manages to outsmart everyone and crack the case. STORY (short detective stories) - This is a collection of maybe 10-15 short stories by Agatha Christie, set in the early 1900's.
