Publisher's Summary

"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. One of his fellow passengers must be 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....

Amazing performance by Dan Stevens

The story by Agatha Christie was of course an absolute classic. Dan Stevens did an astonishing job as a narrator. Among all characters, Mrs. Hubbard was most vividly done. I have to say, however, that he might have portrayed Poirot in too gentle of a way, where certain livelihood was lost.

Excellent narration!

I think Dan Stevens could read a phone book and make it seem fascinating. I’m not sure if I loved this so much because of the book or because of who narrates it. Either way, I found it very enjoyable!

fun to follow along!

Fun whodoneit kind of book. A bit difficult to hear some voices while driving in the car because some are not as loud, however we just increased the sound here and there. Great listen!

A surprise ending

I really enjoyed this murder mystery. The author kept us guessing to the end. However, the best part was the narration by Dan Stevens. Every person was identifiable by his amazing range of accents and voices. I would recommend this book wholeheartedly and look forward to other books read by Mr. Stevens.

Amazing voice actor

The performance of the reader/voice actor was amazing. Best I’ve ever heard in an audiobook. Does so many characters with so many voices all distinct and believable.

Get This For Dan Stevens Alone...

This is obviously a great book. An immediate classic. But the only way to bump up something that's already great is have an actor AS great, and Dan Stevens is that actor. He voices his characters with ease, making each one life-like and separate from one another. I highly recommend this audiobook. Even if you've read the book before, it's a new way to experience it! #Audible1

Dan Stevens!

I only knew of Dan Steven’s work from Downton Abbey and Beauty and The Beast but his performance was second to none! Fantastic work

A Brilliant Listen

A classic story, delivered by a narrator with remarkable talent and range. Each diverse player in the story is distinct and unique, spoken as though they might be seated right beside you. For my first foray into Audible, I regret there might be few to exceed this performance. Bravo, monseiur.
