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.

By necessity much of the details of the book are left out. But their absence is filled by excellent sound design that realistically creates the creeping ambiance of this classic mystery. Peter Dinklage does an excellent Poirot. He portrays the character's warmth of heart, fastidious habits & passion for his work very well. One day I'd like to hear a native Belgian playing this part, but until then Dinklage is worth your time.

Excellent production

This is my second Peter Dinklage (as Perot) audiobook and I must say it's a brilliant listen. All the cast bring the most exciting images to mind and the accompanying sound effects are also spot on. The pace on this one is also brisk so it is even more engaging.

Love These Productions

This is one of my absolute favourite Poirot stories. A great script with wonderful performances from the cast. I look forward to more productions in this series.

Extremely enjoyable adaptation
