Publisher's Summary Soon to be a major motion picture sequel to Murder on the Orient Express with a screenplay by Michael Green, directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh alongside Gal Gadot and Armie Hammer - coming September 17, 2021! Beloved detective Hercule Poirot embarks on a journey to Egypt in one of Agatha Christie’s most famous mysteries. 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) ©1937 Agatha Christie Limited (P)1992 Chivers Press Ltd

Much as I love Suchet, I don't think he's got his best voices going for all the characters in this book, particularly Col. Race (who has a sort of wet lisp) and Miss Van Schuyler (whose voice is the least consistent, and quite harsh, a croaking rasp). The character of Jacqueline is given very dramatic lines, and a lot of them, which may be a large part of why this very familiar tale came off as just a bit too dramatic, too fraught. Nonetheless, this is an ingenious plot, and so clever; despite knowing who did it and why, I still found myself puzzling about just how the deed was done.So, for this recording, I give Suchet 3+ stars, the story 5, and overall it comes out to 4.
Starting in chapter 23 the audio changes. It sounds like David Suchet is talking through a tube, the audio is terrible after chapter 23.
