About this listen
Agatha Christie’s most famous murder mystery, read by director and star of the film adaptation, Kenneth Branagh.
Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside.
Isolated and with a killer in their midst, detective Hercule Poirot must identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.

Critic reviews
“Need it be said – the little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end.” Times Literary Supplement
“A brilliantly ingenious story.” Dorothy L. Sayers, Daily Herald
“Ingenuity at its height … the idea is utterly novel, the setting a model of realism, and the characters a versatile, attractive crew.” Woman’s Journal

Kenneth Brannagh does justice to a classic
Wonderful story from start to finish but a tad short for my liking.
Kenneth Brannagh excels as the narrator and fully immersed me in the tale.

Great story , great production
Another one off the list of 100must-reads. Fantastic criminal and really skilled lector. Always enjoyed the Poirot stories less as he sounds so pompous, but in this production he was made to really shine, being presented both professional and likeable

Really fun!
Although I have always been aware of the Poirot stories and Agatha Christie, this is my first time reading/listening to one of the stories. I chose it because I’m living abroad and wanted something comforting and British to listen to. I couldn’t guess the whodunnit, and I found the whole story including the ending very satisfying. Sometimes voice actors doing different voices can be off putting but I really liked Kenneth Branagh’s performance. Thank you :)

A fantastic read
Story and performance were splendid. Keeping the suspence and interest up all the time. A book you almost don't want to finish even though you want to find out the clues and solve the mystery.

Perfect mystery for cosy bedtime listening.
A great story with a fab twist which I won't spoil for you! Kenneth Branagh is a splendid narrator; one character is a bit annoying but I think that is intentional. My first Poirot novel but definitely not my last.
