It would be an understatement to say we were excited to hear that Richard Armitage, beloved British actor (The Hobbit, North & South) and honey-voiced narrator of everything from Shakespeare to romance, was narrating new recordings of some of the greatest mystery novels of all time. But even for such a seasoned performer, the new performances of The Mysterious Affair at Styles and The Murder on the Links could be daunting, given that they're the first two adventures of Agatha Christie's inimitable Belgian sleuth, Hercule Poirot.
To get into character, Armitage queued up some timeless tales for inspiration. As he puts it: "Listening to classics to prep for narrating classics? Works for me."
