Agatha Christie · 2 Audible UK recordings compared
Short answer
Hugh Fraser — his is the complete reading here. The other listing is Roger May's Collins graded reader for people learning English. Its title is identical to the novel's; "Level 5, B2+" on the line beneath the title and a description that opens by naming English language learners are the two signs. Audible's own listing data marks it abridged, which matches what it is.
The recordings, compared
| Narrator | Length | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hugh Fraser Our pick | 6 hrs 2 mins | Complete novel | The complete novel, solo. |
| Roger May | 3 hrs 42 mins | Collins graded reader (Level 5, B2+) | NOT the novel: a Collins graded reader for people learning English, 61% of the complete reading. Plain title; the level is on the line beneath it. |
