THE MYSTERY OF HUNTER'S LODGE by AGATHA ...

About this episode

Yes- Poirot is BACK!...despite the terrible review we received a couple years ago complaining that my French sounds like its been infusd with Russian.. I was moved by that, and left for a year to study at the Sarbonne, at which time I was reminded that Poirot's character was born in lived as a child in  in Portugal, and often took trips with his father to Moscowbefore the fall of the Romanovs-so I had to spend some time there as well.  then it was back to the states to study the shows on PBS with David Suchet who does a tolerable job with Poirot- whats a few Emmy's anyway?  Someday I will win the equivalent of an Emmy- what's that in podcasting- a Poddy?...for my interpretation of a (in this story) flu-weakened Poirot who hasn't lost his crime solving ability yet, Hastings. So there. Now on with the show.
