The Dream Audiobook Summary
Hercule Poirot is reluctant to answer a letter demanding his services by the reclusive and eccentric millionaire Benedict Farley. Farley wants him to diagnose his recurring dream of death, in which he shoots himself at precisely 3:28 p.m. Then, a week after dismissing Poirot, the dream becomes real. Each member of the Farley household that Poirot questions seems to be more puzzled than the one before. Was Benedict Farley’s death a suicide, or are darker forces at work?

Another incredible mystery short by the queen of mysteries, Agatha Christie. I admit, I was totally lured in, left in a hazy fog unable to awaken my detective skills without Hercule’s explanation at the end. The audiobook narration by Hugh Fraser is outstanding, and frames “The Dream” perfectly.

A man contacts Hercule Poirot with a problem. He keeps having reoccurring dreams of taking his own life. Poirot is not sure what to make of it. They part company and the man ends up dead, by his own hand they say and in exactly the way it was described to Poirot. But was it murder or suicide? The end may shock you! I thought this story was absolutely ingenious. It's a short read too, making all the more appealing for those of whom have little reading time. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Hugh Fraser. Brilliant performance!

An extremely eccentric, brash millionaire summons Hercule Poirot to investigate a very odd problem: The millionaire has a recurring dream in which he takes a pistol out of a drawer and shoots himself. The next day, the millionaire has been shot dead. I cannot reveal more without spoiling this wonderful short story, but I can reveal that Dame Agatha Christie crafted an excellent tale.

Was it murder? Was it suicide? Find out in this gripping short story! I loved it - I listened to the audiobook of it narrated by Hugh Fraser - a favourite- and it was just great. One of my favourites of Dame Agatha's short stories with the little man Roth the egg shaped head :)
