A convincing narration of a classic mystery
-
I've listened to an excerpt of this title, which included the first five chapters of Agatha Christie's classic mystery Death on the Nile, narrated by Kenneth Branagh. Branagh is the director and plays the lead character, Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, in the recent (2022) film adaptation of the book.
While the short excerpt didn't provide an opportunity to critique Branagh's interpretation of the majority of the characters, including Poirot himself, it was sufficient to reveal a competent and convincing narration.
My thanks to the narrator Kenneth Branagh, publisher HarperCollins UK Audio (and by extension the estate of the late Agatha Christie) and NetGalley UK for the opportunity to listen to this excerpt.
