Actor Peter Dinklage to voice Hercule Poirot in new Audible Original

Actor Peter Dinklage will voice Hercule Poirot in Audible’s new multi-cast production of Agatha Christie’s The Mysterious Affair at Styles.

It will be publishing as Audible’s lead audiobook title for autumn/winter 2024, on 14th November 2024 as an Audible Original as part of the new production deal between Audible and the Agatha Christie Estate.

Directed by Alice Lowe and adapted for audio by Anna Lea, the new edition will also feature a "stunning" original score by Johnny Flynn and Joe Zeitlin.

The Mysterious Affair at Styles will also feature the voices of actors Himesh Patel, Harriet Walter, Jessica Gunning, Phil Dunster, Rob Delaney, John Bradley, Vivian Oparah and Patsy Ferran. 

The story follows an injured Captain Hastings who has been invited to a country estate to recover after serving in the First World War. When a member of the family dies mysteriously, Hastings calls his friend Poirot to investigate.

James Prichard, Agatha Christie’s great-grandson and c.e.o and chairman of Agatha Christie Limited, said: “This project promises to push the boundaries of what audio can be. The combination of an extraordinary cast, music by Johnny Flynn and the use of ground-breaking audio technology will make this a completely extraordinary telling of my great grandmother’s first story. We are very excited to partner with Audible on this journey and work with them to bring this story to life.”
