“This classic Agatha Christie whodunit is brought to life with style by narrator James Warwick…Warwick’s characterization of Poirot is spot-on, allowing his Belgian accent and pedantic character to shine through. He characterizes the key protagonists with affection, and his use of accents and intonation helps listeners follow the twisting plot. The interview between publisher and narrator at the end of the audiobook brings additional insight to the listener.”
