APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Whether you’re already an Agatha Christie enthusiast or a total newcomer, 1934’s Murder on the Orient Express remains a wonderful and entertaining mystery. On a snowy night, an American passenger is found dead in his cabin—with the door locked from the inside. It’s up to the brilliant, opinionated detective Hercule Poirot to solve the mystery before the killer can strike again or vanish from the train. Read by Kenneth Branagh—who directed and starred in the enormously fun 2017 movie adaptation of the novel—this audiobook transports us to the plush environment of the world’s most legendary luxury locomotive. Branagh uses an array of character voices to introduce us to all of Christie’s eccentric and potentially murderous passengers. This is a great choice for your next on-the-road listen.

10/10 Hands Down
Great story and great narrative.
Kenneth Branagh brings these characters to life!
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook, narrated by the brilliant voice of Kenneth Branagh. Branagh skillfully brings the narration and characters to life; I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Highly recommend this contemporary performance of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express!
Kenneth Branagh?
This is the most agonizing audio book I’ve ever had to listen to. I expect better from an Oscar winning actor and director. The female voices sound awful, and the Americans are inconsistent, actually Poirot is inconsistent.
If this is supposed to sell film tickets count me out. Hugh Fraser and John Moffat win.
But if you need a sleeping pill, here it is.
