David Suchet and Hugh Fraser team up again as the great detective Hercule Poirot and trusty Captain Hastings for three engaging hour-long adventures. In The Cornish Mystery Poirot has an unusual visitor--a victim who says she's not dead yet but is slowly being poisoned. The Adventure of the Cheap Flat blends international intrigue with the gentle comic relief of a foolish American FBI agent, and Double Sin contains a novel twist: Poirot announces his retirement and Hastings is left to solve the case by himself. The cast has the easy rapport of old friends, and as always Philip Jackson as Chief Inspector Japp and Pauline Moran as the remarkable Miss Lemon are welcome companions. Special DVD features include selected cast filmographies and biographies for David Suchet and Agatha Christie. Brew some tea, check it for arsenic, and get ready for a thoroughly entertaining evening. --Ali Davis
From the Back Cover
Just ask the millions of fans who made him the most watched sleuth in the history of the PBS Mystery! series and a hit all over again on A&E. DAVID SUCHET plays the meticulous Belgian in these three stories based on the fiction of Dame Agatha Christie, the mother of the modern mystery. Using only his "little grey cells" and the aid of the affable Captain Hastings (Hugh Fraser), Poirot makes quick and exceptionally neat work of the most serpentine cases. Set in elegant 1930s England, the series also stars Philip Jackson as Chief Inspector Japp and Pauline Moran as Miss Lemon. Includes The Cornish Mystery, Double Sin and The Adventure of the Cheap Flat.
