The Murder on the Links
“This adaptation of a classic Christie whodunit to vintage radio drama format is absolutely delicious. Evocative music and portentous sound effects greatly enhance the fun, and the cast is superb. Many great actors have taken on the fussy little Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, but none better than Alfred Molina here…Simon Helberg charms as Poirot’s enthusiastic young sidekick and the story’s narrator…High praise to all. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
