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....

Dan Stevens is an excellent narrator!

He gave special voices to all of the characters which really made the book that much more enjoyable.

Looking forward to seeing the 1974 movie adaptation.

Excellent

I can add no comment to this classic mystery.

This narrator's voice is auditory Dove Promises chocolate. His multiple characters' accents are consistent and fluid. This is great voice acting!

Christie's Masterpiece read masterfully.

Where does Murder on the Orient Express rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best.

What did you like best about this story?

The puzzle structure is so intricate yet holds together.

What does Dan Stevens bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He is amazing. It sounded like he enjoyed every word of it. His range is vast that he actually sounded liked different people. The characterizations were crisp and it was easy to tell which character he was reading even though there were 17 characters who had dialogue, by my count. He could read children's books. I'd just love hearing him do the Big Bad Wolf. And he could read Raymond Chandler. His American is quite good.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Christie's masterpiece.

Any additional comments?

I'm going to go straight to audible and wishlist everything Dan Stevens has read.

Dan Stevens as Poirot

I am a huge fan of Christie and partial to David Suchet's characterization. He is and will be in my mind the only Poirot. Hugh Fraser is my favorite narrator because of my love for the show. With that said, Dan Stevens has a lovely voice and does a very good Suchet as Poirot reading. Well worth the money or a credit!

Extraordinary

A most wonderful detective story by the mistress of crime. It is well worth the time to read even though it was originally published in 1934.

However one thing that is worth the credit even if this was not a masterpiece. That is the narrator who did probably the most incredible job of interpreting a book and all the hundreds or thousands of audiobooks that I have purchased

I even felt it was necessary to go back to the original description and audible to make sure they were not multiple narrators. There were not.

Extraordinary and worth every penny of every credit. Five stars all around

I loved every minute of it!!

First of all, kudos to Dan stevens, the man is an unbelievable actor. also, Agatha Cristie is an unbelievable writer. She did such an amazing job describing the details, I felt like I was on the train, I felt like I was stuck in the snow with them, I felt the mysterious muder looming. I will definetly listen to it again.
