Loved it

Amazing. Agatha Christie is the greatest novelist in history. Excited to compare the new movie to this book.

Loved This Book!

I always wanted to read this book so when I saw it was available on audible, I decided to listen to it. It's classic Agatha Christie and did not disappoint! A good old fashioned mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end!

Thrilling!

Such a fun mystery! Very easy to listen to. Reader does the voices quite well. Exciting until the very end!

Fantastic acting/narration. Great story

Fun detective story, fantastic acting, accents and voices telling a story with 15 or so characters. Really enjoyable to listen to.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat

I’m kind of kicking myself in the shin for not listening to this story sooner.

Fantastic Story and Performance!

I am and always have been a lover of mysteries and of Agatha Christie in particular and I am always skeptical of those who perform her works (outside of Richard E. Grant and Hugh Fraser) but Dan Stevens does a masterful job of capturing not only the story, but the characters and making all come to life. The story is fantastic and I highly recommend this version!

Excellent

Dan Stevens is an amazing narrator. I would highly recommend his narration of this and And Then There Were None. Both were excellent. Agatha Christe of course does not disappoint with this story either. If you enjoy audiobooks, you will most likely enjoy this narration.

A classic mystery, and a new favorite

I enjoyed this audiobook so much, I finished in one day. The story never lost my interest, and kept me guessing. I can't say enough about Dan Stevens' performance! Easily in the top 5 narrators that I've listened to. The way he captured a distinct personality for each character, both men and women of varying accents was impressive, and brought the story to life.

Excellent performance

Dan Stevens is a pleasure to listen to, and did a wonderful job with each different voice and accent. Definitely recommended.

Perfect

I first read this decades ago and I saw the movie in the seventies. While listening I was continuously impressed by how very good the writing is. A great listen and I recommend it very highly.
