“The main alibi is of the first brilliance.”

The Observer (London)

Read by Kenneth Branagh

Now a major motion picture directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh alongside Gal Gadot.

Beloved detective Hercule Poirot embarks on a journey to Egypt in one of Agatha Christie’s most famous mysteries, narrated by Kenneth Branagh.

The tranquility of a luxury cruise along the Nile was shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway had been shot through the head. She was young, stylish, and beautiful. A girl who had everything … until she lost her life.

Hercule Poirot recalled an earlier outburst by a fellow passenger: “I’d like to put my dear little pistol against her head and just press the trigger.” Yet under the searing heat of the Egyptian sun, nothing is ever quite what it seems.

A sweeping mystery of love, jealousy, and betrayal, Death on the Nile is one of Christie’s most legendary and timeless works.

“Death on the Nile is perfect.” —The Guardian

“One of her best… . First rate entertainment.” —Kirkus Reviews

    A convincing narration of a classic mystery

    I've listened to an excerpt of this title, which included the first five chapters of Agatha Christie's classic mystery Death on the Nile, narrated by Kenneth Branagh. Branagh is the director and plays the lead character, Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, in the recent (2022) film adaptation of the book. While the short excerpt didn't provide an opportunity to critique Branagh's interpretation of the majority of the characters, including Poirot himself, it was sufficient to reveal a competent and convincing narration. My thanks to the narrator Kenneth Branagh, publisher HarperCollins UK Audio (and by extension the estate of the late Agatha Christie) and NetGalley UK for the opportunity to listen to this excerpt.
