About this listen

An international cast of suspects, all passengers on the crowded train, are speeding through the snowy European landscape when a bizarre and terrible murder brings them to an abrupt halt. One of their glittering number lies dead in his cabin, stabbed a mysterious twelve times. There is no lack of clues for Poirot - but which clue is real and which is a clever plant? Poirot realises that this time he is dealing with a murderer of enormous cunning and that in a case frought with fear and inconstencies only one thing is certain - the murderer is still aboard the train waiting to strike again... John Moffatt stars as Hercule Poirot, with a stellar cast including Joss Ackland, Sylvia Syms, Francesca Annis, and Siân Phillips.

Soon to be released as a film, directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring Penelope Cruz, Olivia Coleman, Dame Judi Dench, Daisy Ridley, Derek Jacobi, and Michele Pfeiffer, The Murder on the Orient Express is a perennial classic.

The title of this review says it all.
This is better than any other dramatisation, televised or otherwise (including the recently filmed Suchet version for ITV, which is good by the way).
Great casting - John Moffat delivers an unusually good Poirot - coupled with sincere, believable, enjoyable-to-listen-to acting make this a Murder on the Orient Express that you won't forget.

Perfect

Very engaging:-) excellent voices! feeling as if one was in the train observing Poirot solving the case. Pity it's so short.

I love this version and have listened many times. Short and sweet so easy to fit in to a short space of time

I love it

But deploring the unlikely starting point of Poirot knowing Ratchett's real identity. What a pitty.

Easy to follow the clever detecting points.
