What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Love it love it love it”
I love it when Dan Stevens narrates anything, but to have him narrate such a childhood favorite, and so impeccably well is just a treat. I love it whenever Stevens does an accent, and he gets to run the gamut here. Such an entertaining and easy listen! Highly recommended.— Sara Beth Wade, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “a true classic”
The narrators ability to portray a wide variety of characters. This book in particular has a cast incredibly diverse, the passengers of the train came from all over the world and social standings but the narrator moved seamlessly from one to the other, and gave me a real sense of a large cast of players. even though this story is so well known, that the plot twist had been reveled to me long before I had even read this book (much like Soylent Green and Citizen Kane) the attention to detail with the clues left behind and the characters personalities kept me guessing throughout the whole thing. I always love that classic mystery reveal scene, gathering the suspects together to explain just how the crime was committed and how they were found out. Nobody does it better than Christie. Detective Poirot’s commitment to justice, (I don’t want to give away any spoilers) but in the end after he solved the case his decision to serve justice over the law.— Jennie, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “On the edge of my seat!”
Fun thriller with such a twist at the end! It’s a must read (or just listen!)— Amazon Customer, Audible listener
