Agatha Christie · 3 Audible UK recordings compared
Short answer
Richard E. Grant: the complete novel, read solo. The listing with Clare Corbett, June Whitfield and Nicholas Boulton has "(Dramatised)" in its title: a play, though the listing says unabridged. The one to watch is John Hasler's, which is a Collins Agatha Christie ELT Reader, level B2, for learners of English, and marked abridged. It is not the novel.
