Library Journal Review

PBS's summer offerings in its Masterpiece Mystery series included three Agatha Christie tales starring David Suchet as master detective Hercule Poirot. Acorn Media enhanced these with English-language closed-captioning and released them as Poirot 5. Originally produced for ITV Television, these broadcasts exhibit exceptional screenplays, directing, cinematography, audio, and editing. The excellent supporting casts feature Zoe Wanamaker and Tim Curry, among others. This collection includes a much-anticipated version of Murder on the Orient Express, an outstanding Third Girl, and Appointment with Death, set in a quite convincing 1930s Syria. The bonus piece "David Suchet on the Orient Express" is not to be missed. Essential for mystery collections.
