Booklog 10/2026: Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders – Poirot – Audiobook

Full cast recording featuring Peter Dinklage as Hercule Poirot.

There’s a serial killer on the loose and Poirot has received letters from the killer simply signed ABC. There’s a new inspector at Scotland Yard, who tries to sideline Poirot as old-fashioned, but in the end they are forced to work together. First a woman whose name begins with A is murdered in Andover, then Betty in Bexhill, then a C and a D etc. Poirot and the police are baffled. I worked it out before they did. Poirot gets there in the end, despite a red-herring. I prefer straightforward reads to full cast recordings as the voices are not always well-differentiated, but Dinklage makes a good – and easily recognisable – Poirot.

Danielle L Jensen: The Traitor Queen – Bridge Kingdom #2 - Audiobook

Audiobook narrated by Lauren Fortgang and James Patrick Cronin

Ah, maybe I should have started by reading The Bridge Kingdom. This is the second book in the sequence, but the stortytelling is a bit muddled and at nearly 1/3^rd of the way in I’m giving up. The narrators are OK, but not spectacular.
