Audiobooks narrated by Kenneth Branagh
Reads Christie as well as filming her — his Death on the Nile and Murder on the Orient Express sit alongside David Suchet's complete recordings of both, so which Poirot you get depends entirely on which listing you click. His Heart of Darkness is one of Audible's Signature Performances.
