Summary
Juliet Stevenson reads Miss Marple’s Final Cases, Agatha Christie’s last collection of short stories to feature the woman who had become the world’s most popular female detective, Miss Jane Marple.
Nine intriguing tales
One unequalled storyteller
An unknown wounded man in a church. A fatal riding accident. A corpse and a tape measure.
Whether in St Mary Mead or further afield, there is always much wickedness lurking below the surface, should, like Jane Marple, you have the eyes to see it.
Published posthumously, this collection of tales, seven of them featuring Agatha Christie’s much loved Miss Marple, plus two stand-alone stories, is a treasure trove.
Never underestimate Miss Marple

It is an Agatha Christie book and this says it all
It is an Agatha Christie book and this says it all for me. The narrator is excellent too. I warmly recommend it,

Like a bag of jellybeans
All the stories are different and all include Marple of course. A lovely collection to while a way your time or use for listening too whilst dog walking like me. Bought in a BOGOF sale as the freebie.

Reasonably good short stories …
Firstly, well done Audible for allocating a separate chapter to each short story & for providing the story names as chapter headings. Collections should ALWAYS be published like this.
This is a collection of reasonably good short stories - some I wished would last longer, a couple of slight stories which could have been developed into something more substantial, had the author so desired.
Juliet Stevenson’s narration is almost perfect — except when she runs out of ideas for character voices & tries to create a deep female voice which just doesn’t work - it sounds like Monty Python and The Life of Brian’s women in beards at the stoning scene.
Other than that, a very pleasant way to spend a few hours with Miss Marple :-)

Dame Agatha off the boil
Not Dame Agatha's best it has to be said. Juliet Stevenson is slightly off the boil as well, I don't think that Miss Marple is quite her thing. That said Ms Stevenson has a pleasant voice and does try to give the characters character. Ms Stevenson does have the requisite "County Poke" in her voice but I don't think that she is a Miss Marple in the making. Joan Hickson's crown is safe.

Entertaining enough but not her best work
A collection of short stories, mostly featuring everyone's favourite twinkly maiden aunt with a mind like a steel trap. I enjoyed some of these stories more than others - the first one, Sanctuary, was probably my favourite - but with a short story formula you can never get very deeply into characters, so a lot of the time we are simply being told facts rather than having the time to get hoodwinked by people. So I felt many of these stories were only told on a surface level. A couple were not Miss Marples but were more in the eerie/thriller/supernatural category, which I did not much enjoy, but that's personal taste. An entertaining enough listen but don't expect the depth and intrigue you'd get from the full length stories. I always enjoy Juliet Stevenson's reading.

THE APPALLING NARRATION
SADLY DESPITE LOVING AGATHA CHRISTIE AND MISS MARPLE, I COULDN'T LISTEN TO MORE THAN ONE STORY BECAUSE OF THE AWFUL NARRATION.

Not That Good
The narration spoilt the whole aspect of the stories for me, sorry JS you're not that good I'm afraid.
some of the characters that was portraid was (I think) embarrassingly poor and has put me off getting the 13 problems.
of which I've noticed you also narrate.
