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.

Dinklage is really good again as Poirot and the rest of the cast is great. Not my favourite Poirot story but that’s a personal opinion.
I found the constant background music quite graying at time and would prefer less of it so listeners can focus on the actors’ performances.

Really good cast, great listen

I have read this book once before a very long time ago. Decided to give this version a whirl, I am thrilled I did. Peter Dinklage as Poirot is PERFECT and the book gripped me from the start. Ably supported by a star cast, this is a cracking quick listen you will be hooked from start to finish,

Absolutely superb

Acting great, of course a skilfully crafted story. Few sound effects to build atmosphere. Transported back in time.
