Publisher's summary

An international cast of suspects, all passengers on the crowded train, are speeding through the snowy European landscape when a bizarre and terrible murder brings them to an abrupt halt. One of their glittering number lies dead in his cabin, stabbed a mysterious twelve times. There is no lack of clues for Poirot - but which clue is real and which is a clever plant?

Poirot realises that this time he is dealing with a murderer of enormous cunning and that in a case frought with fear and inconstencies only one thing is certain - the murderer is still aboard the train waiting to strike again...

John Moffatt stars as the great Belgian detective in a BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation.

Top performance of a classic story

This story has some unique features among Agatha Christie's books. There's no second murder to help narrow down the suspects, and Poirot must solve the crime in a matter of hours. Even if you've read the story before, this dramatisation is still worth listening to. The sound effects may not be quite movie standard, but they're convincing none the less. The acting is good, and the script writer left the original story alone. And for those of us who can't see, we can follow the story as well as our sighted friends staring at the radio. A pleasant two hours listening.

mom/daughter review

My 10 yr old and I have really enjoyed listening to this. She enjoys mysteries and is completely engrossed in story line and able to follow and understand characters. I love a good mystery, but hate blood and gore. Agatha Christie provides well written, engaging storylines that don't offend or traumatise. Also the BBC never disappoints and the actors are wonderful and easy to understand.

long time favorite

I've read and listened to this story countless times. A definitive classic from the Poirot series. Overall I enjoyed this version but marked a star down on performance. At times the accents would throw me off because there were clear discrepancies with the acting..one character in the same scene is supposed to sound latin but switches from like Jersey yonkers, italian, and I want to say russian?? Just small things like that usually during longer monologues for the passengers.
Like I said earlier, still enjoyed it overall..would still recommend.

what a great book it brought back memories

I have loved all of Agatha Christie books since I was a teenager and now that I'm older I don't have time to read as much as I used to so I just love that I can listen to her books as I do my homework . Loved all of the narrator's they made the book come alive and the book all the more enjoyable they did an excellent job now I love listening to dramatised audio books.

I loved the book

The book is great and the movie is on spot. This is a must read, and then watch first movie. The story lines are out of this world. Make me feel like I'm on the train.
