"I selected this because of Kenneth Branagh, and having just seen the film. The story is a classic, I had read it years ago. It was with fresh eyes (ears?) that I listened for all of the clues that were scattered along the way, well done Dame Agatha! Branagh's performance was perfect. Enough nuance and use of tone and accents to keep the characters separate, yet not too much that it was a parody, always a risk. Recommend for both the story and the performance."
