About this listen

 A letter from beyond the grave One last request An unsolvable crime

When Miss Marple receives a letter from the recently deceased millionaire Jason Rafiel, she’s not sure what to make of it.

Knowing her deductive skills, he challenges her to solve a crime. If she does so, she will inherit £20,000.

The only problem is that he has failed to mention who was involved, or where, and when the crime was committed. Jane Marple is intrigued.

Never underestimate Miss Marple

‘Sorry Poirot, but I’m team Marple every time. A mind to rival the great Sherlock Holmes – and much handier with a knitting needle – yet patronised and underestimated by those around her, her invisibility is her superpower. That and her uncanny understanding of the darkest depths of human nature . . .’
Lucy Foley

‘Her gift is pure genius.’

While Christie is the story's birth mother, Fox makes the story come alive! Wonderful characterisation and superb subtlety. I loved every nuance of the plot.

Emilia Fox is the story's Nemesis

The most incredible story beautifully narrated by Emilia Fox. I’ve read all of the Miss Marple books and Nemesis is the most intriguing of them all.

The best Miss Marple story of all time

Having been disappointed by “At Bertram’s Hotel,” I was slightly worried about listening to “Nemesis” but there was no need. The plot and characters are carefully crafted by Ms Christie with plenty of red herrings and it was brought to life effectively by the narrator. One of the best of Christie’s works.

Miss Marple at her best!
