About this listen

An Audible Original multi-cast adaptation of Agatha Christie's acclaimed classic, The ABC Murders, starring Peter Dinklage as the legendary Hercule Poirot.

Hercule Poirot and Arthur Hastings reunite for their most difficult case yet. When Poirot receives a letter warning him that a crime is about to be committed by the writer: 'A.B.C' the friends find themselves in a race against time to decipher the killer's twisted logic as he taunts the great detective by announcing the next murder location alphabetically. With every new killing a new pool of suspects is uncovered.

First is Alice Ascher in Andover, whose abusive husband has a shaky alibi. Then the flirtatious Betty Barnard is murdered, leaving behind possessive fiancé, Donald Fraser and jealous sister Megan. Carmichael Clarke is the third victim, a wealthy man whose ambitious secretary, Thora Grey, or grieving brother Franklin, could be suspects. All the while, the mysterious Mr Cust makes his rounds through England.

Can Poirot and Hastings unmask the killer before a final letter seals an innocent victim's fate?

Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) returns as Agatha Christie's famous detective in his most beloved outing, with Himesh Patel (Yesterday) reprising his role as Captain Hastings. Also starring Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games), Lydia West (It's a Sin), Ben Hardy (Bohemian Rhapsody), Rahul Kohli (The Haunting of Bly Manor), Joel Fry (Our Flag Means Death) and Sian Clifford (Fleabag).

Produced in Dolby Atmos, the production features an original score by Johnny Flynn.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

A great production

The performances were good, Peter Dinklage is a very good HP …. But, the proficient acting is set against an absolute array of the most irritating (supposedly) ‘background’ music and noises. It’s like some little children have ben given a digital noise bank and are trying every single one out Just because the production team have access to these noises, doesn’t mean you have to use them. For me, it entirely ruined the whole thing. So just stop it.

The utterly irritating background music /noise

Dinklage is super-charismatic, Himesh holds it all together beautifully, and there’s an excellent supporting cast. The story really moves along at an enjoyable pace.

Excellent version of ABC

Loved it!

Give me more - this was excellent. Some performances may have been a little... saliva-heavy, but an exquisite title nonetheless. Dinklage is particularly well suited to the part of Poirot.

Dinklage is perfect.

Peter Dinklage’s Poirot had compassion, I loved him, Agatha Christie’s story was compelling, well worth a listen.

A fabulous Poirot
