About this audiobook

THE MOST WIDELY READ MYSTERY OF ALL TIME—NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE DIRECTED BY KENNETH BRANAGH AND PRODUCED BY RIDLEY SCOTT!

 

“The murderer is with us—on the train now . . .”

 

Just after midnight, the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, the millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. Without a shred of doubt, one of his fellow passengers is the murderer.

 

Isolated by the storm, detective Hercule Poirot must find the killer among a dozen of the dead man's enemies, before the murderer decides to strike again.

 

“What more . . . can a mystery addict desire?”—New York Times

This was my first taste of Agatha Christie, and I was hooked once the mystery got under way. Dan Stevens did a great job bring the characters to life with his various accents.

Extremely well narrated. As a fan of the movie (with Albert Finney), I am only now taking up the book - and it was a pleasure.

Hatred of Whites and Christians. Acts of violence and racial slurs towards Whites.
