Summary
When Miss Marple comes up from the country for a holiday in London, she finds what she's looking for at Bertram's Hotel: traditional decor, impeccable service, and an unmistakable atmosphere of danger behind the highly polished veneer.
Yet, not even Miss Marple can foresee the violent chain of events set in motion when an eccentric guest makes his way to the airport on the wrong day.

Pleasent listen
Stephanie Cole is a good substitute for Joan Hickson. The story is well read. It's a comfortable, easy listen.

Marvellous performance
An excellent full length reading of another clever Agatha Christie. I’m purchasing the next two Stephanie Cole’s. Highly recommend

Totally entertaining
I listened to the a chapter at a time over a number of weeks and found it really enjoyable. Apart from one character accent (sounding like an extra from a vampire movie to be honest) the reading / performance was spot on and highly entertaining. Well worth a listen.

Like wading through mud.
A very dull story. Nothing happens for the first 3/4. One of Christie's weakest. Narration was decent though.

Disappointing.
I usually love Miss Marple and all of Agatha Christie’s work but this is not one of her best stories. She brings the hotel’s setting and its characters to life but the plot is poor as nothing really happens and the ending seems rushed and unrealistic. I think I’ll stick with Christie’s earlier work in future.

At Bertram's Hotel
Would you listen to At Bertram's Hotel again? Why?
Definitely. It's a book which just keeps you on the edge of your seat.
What other book might you compare At Bertram's Hotel to, and why?
No comparison.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
I enjoyed the scene at the beginning where people were having tea in the drawing room.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It's just a book you can't put down - you have to listen to it all the way through.
Any additional comments?
This is different to a lot of Agatha Christie books, particularly given that the greater part of it is about robberies which the police are investigating which they trace to Bertram's Hotel although as yet they have no proof, and, though there is a murder, it doesn't happen until five hours or so through the book. It shows the efficiency of people at the hotel as they work under a mask which nobody would suspect and I like the part where Rose Sheldon brings Miss Marple her breakfast on her first morning. I heartily recommend the book.

At Bertrams Hotel
Adventurous estranged mum, accidentally goes to the same hotel, what will happen if they meet up!!!!! There's intrigue, murder, love affairs, what more could you ask for from Agatha Christie

Classic Christie
For the fans of the classic crime novel, look no further that Miss Christie! Sad to say that this volume is not narrated by the best Marple (well in my humble opinion) Joan Hickson, But Stephanie Cole makes a marvellous substitute and her delivery so character perfect. So easy to imagine yourself sitting alongside Miss M taking in all the comings and goings at Bertrams! As always full of Christie twists and turns - a perfect Sunday or bedtime listen.
