Agatha Christie · 2 Audible UK recordings compared
Short answer
Hugh Fraser: the complete novel, read solo, by the reader of other Poirot novels on this site. The other listing is credited to a full cast with John Moffatt, the name on the BBC Poirot plays elsewhere on this site, and at a fraction of the novel's length it is a play, not a reading, although the listing says unabridged and its title does not say dramatised. Both are worth having; only one of them is the book.
