Double Sin and Other Stories A Hercule Poirot Agatha Christie Podcast Audio Author Narrations Part 1

#agathachristie #audiobook #mystery
Over the years, Christie grew tired of Poirot, much as Doyle did with Sherlock Holmes.  By the end of the 1930s, Christie wrote in her diary that she was finding Poirot "insufferable", and by the 1960s she felt he was "an egocentric creep".Thompson believes Christie's occasional antipathy to her creation is overstated, and points out that "in later life she sought to protect him against misrepresentation as powerfully as if he were her own flesh and blood." Unlike Doyle, she resisted the temptation to kill her detective off while he was still popular.  She married off Poirot's "Watson", Captain Arthur Hastings, in an attempt to trim her cast commitments...

Oh please don't ever add background music. It ruins the audiobook

[@hikari1690]

What music?

[@rosannwinther7824]

@hikari1690 well, there is a low music playing in the background. Several others have commented on it as well.

[@hikari1690]

@@rosannwinther7824 couldn't hear any lol. Wonder if it's something only younglings can hear

[@katefarmerpallotta9710]

I hear it and I enjoy it

[@rbrown6476]

I’m 70, and I hate this “music added to everything”!!! If you can’t hear the music, then it’s been added in vain. If you like the music, then you could add your choice of music to whatever story you’re listening to. But for most of us, it’s annoying, dreary, insistent and sometimes adds a downright distressing layer of stress! 😢
Everyone’s different, but a story doesn’t need somebody else’s choice of music, that isn’t playing any tune - just 2 or 3 notes moaning on in the background.
Did I mention that I don’t like added music? 😂😂😂 I’ve turned off this one during the first paragraph because it makes me feel depressed somehow. Anyway, plenty of other stories out there, so I’m spoilt for choice. ❤

[@anstriagreenwood3365]

Aw what a shame - Hugh Frazer narrating and the whole thing spoiled by weird eerie background music that completely distracts from the audio.

[@tc786]

Superbly read but y the irritating background music spoils the mood?

[@JunePerkins-y3p]

Stop that background noise

[@hermajesty52]

Ok…..the last story was cut off right at the stinking end!!!!! 👎👎👎

My ears cant tlerate the backgrpund music. Why on earth put it there. So many have sensitive ears

[@Pea_Green]

I agree one thousand per cent. I could scream.

[@betteramwthanbmw]

Just scream. But, please - do not add it to the reading 😱

[@moiraswords8220]

I don’t like background music puts me off listening

[@athenaathena1307]

Great performance. Thanks for sharing.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊

[@LesJimStuart-hx5od]

I agree - it took ages to realise that the music was in the background of this!

[@SusanSmith-lt9tc]

Background audio makes it hard for the hearing impaired. Too annoying to listen to 😢

[@hiltrud2001]

Did I hear correctly that there are many voices, including Christopher Lee?

[@sunny1433]

Yes, Christopher Lee, I suppose many actors do audio work to fill in the gaps between movies.

[@indigobunting2431]

Last story (spooky doll) is chopped off without an ending. A glitch or two earlier (dropped words).

[@suetheotherbruce759]

Extremely irritating, funereal noise in the background. Leaving to find something better. Shame.

[@Habib_Gn_ff]

Okay, We will solve this. Thank you for your feedback ❤

[@SobeLover1964]

Yeah a little to distracting. Moving on.
