Curtain: Poirot's Last Case Nov 03, 2025

Show notes

Mes amis, mes amis... and so we face the final curtain...

As painful as it is, we cannot ignore the final chapter of the Poirot story, and we end as we began - in the company of the fabulous Monsieur Hercule Poirot and his most faithful friend, Captain Hastings, as they find themselves at the scene of their first case together - Styles St Mary.

This time, Poirot and Hastings will face their most diabolical foe, and bring down the curtain upon a story that began once upon a friendship for the ages...

Join Adam and Frankie for a very special journey, and hold on tight - this might get emotional...
