Summary

June Whitfield returns as the deceptively mild spinster sleuth in three full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatisations.

Specially broadcast to mark the 125th anniversary of Agatha Christie's birth, these brand new dramas are based on three of her best short stories.

Tape-Measure Murder: When Mrs Spenlow is murdered in St Mary Mead, the village gossips all agree that her husband must have killed her – until Miss Marple is called as an alibi....

The Case of the Perfect Maid: Miss Marple investigates the problem of a lady's maid who has been mysteriously sacked – while also helping her crime writer nephew Raymond West to cure his writer's block.

Sanctuary: Miss Marple and her god-daughter Bunch are horrified when they discover a dying man in the local church. Can Miss Marple deduce his identity – and his killer – from his last words?

First published in the collection Miss Marple's Final Cases, these three delightfully clever tales will keep you guessing till the end. Starring June Whitfield – reprising her role as Miss Marple for the first time since 2001 – they are dramatised for BBC Radio 4 by Joy Wilkinson.

Glad they have done another Marple dramatisation

Although June Whitfield's performance is more subdued in this dramatisation , we have to consider that these are indeed Miss Marple's final cases and she's not getting any younger ( both the character and the performer ) ! I always think of June Whitfield as Miss Marple in the BBC dramatisations , so I was very happy that she was able to do these Final Cases . My only complaint is the dramatisations were very short but then I went on to listen to Miss Marple's Final Cases as read by Joan Hickson and each story was quite short as well . Miss Marple is my favourite Agatha Christie character and I thought this dramatisation was terrific .

I wish the stories had been longer

I love Miss Marple, always have. But I wish the cases in this collection had been a little longer and took a little longer to unravel.

Great collection

Also purchased Joan Hickson's narrated version and though there are more stories I do prefer this audio version, only wish there were more story collections of Miss Marple.

Soothing Story

Has a really good plot and is so nice to sit and listen to. June Whitfield is so soothing whilst she rears and it is my favourite audible book.

A quick Lett's Guide to Agatha Christie Stories

Like all the reviews I read before purchasing this, I have to say the stories are a tad short but not unpleasurable. It is like a condensed story of each murder mystery so there is less suspense of a whodunnit, however, these 3 stories are still very entertaining and if you happen to be preparing lunch and want to listen to a story, it will be just about the right length before the potatoes and carrots have boiled. June Whitfield sounds genuinely older and it only adds to her performance and to the stories. I'm happy with the purchase as they were half price but I wouldn't pay full price for these 3 shortened stories, so I'd say to buy this when it is on sale.

Miss Marple`s Final Cases

I didn't realise, until I started to listen, that i have heard the stories before, with Joan Hickson. However, they were well dramatized and I did enjoy them, although it was all rather short.

Disappointing

3 very short short stories with annoying music. Not worth the money (costs same as a 5-8 hour AC audible book and is only about 1.5 hours long).
