An all new audio recording of DEATH ON THE NILE narrated by Kenneth Branagh, director and star of 20th Century Studios' upcoming Death on the Nile feature film.
The tranquillity of a cruise along the Nile is shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway has been shot through the head. She was young, stylish and beautiful, a girl who had everything – until she lost her life.
Hercule Poirot recalls 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 in this exotic setting nothing is ever quite what it seems…
Kenneth Branagh reprises both his directorial role and that of the iconic detective in the upcoming film adaptation of Death on the Nile. Listen to the book now, and see the thrilling mystery come to life on the big screen soon!
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.
