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.’

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!

I read this book when it was first published. In audible it has not lost any of its original great story telling. Its so nice to be able to listen to a brilliant murder mystery without sex scenes or terrible language you get in today's novels.
Agatha Christie will never become outdated. Her stories, everyone of them, are classic. I have watched TV try to turn these stories into programs that you can watch, and I have seen most of them, but the stories lose something on the small or large screen. They do not portray the characteristics and subtle plots that A.C. puts into all her books. If you want to know an A.C. story then you need to read or listen to her words. Let her seep into your mind and let your imagination supply the pictures.

Brilliant

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
