Tom Conti, said: “One of the reasons I think Poirot has remained within the British crime cannon is the incredibly clever twists Christie entwines into each mystery. Poirot is such a captivating character to voice, his pauses as powerful as his extrapolations, so it’s been exciting to be part of bringing this story to life through audio.”
In addition to these standout studio performances, Audible’s sound-designers also captured a wealth of authentic sound effects from Orient Express – including locomotive movements, rattling windows, footsteps, steam, wood and leather sounds – as the train travelled from London to Venice.
Laurence Howell, Director of Content at Audible UK, said: “Crime thrillers are the most popular genre with our listeners so we’re thrilled to be working with such a talented cast to bring this best-loved classic to life. Having a voice piped directly into your ear is an incredibly intimate experience, made even more so when the sound-design creates such an immersive atmosphere for listeners, perfectly building the suspense.”
