About this listen

 A strange house A ghost from the past

As soon as she moves into Hillside, Gwenda knows there’s something strange about this house.

A sealed room. A hidden door. The apparition of a young woman being strangled.

But strangest of all – this all seems quite familiar.

As her friend Jane Marple investigates, the answer seems to lie in a crime committed nearly twenty years ago.

The killer may have gotten away with murder. But Miss Marple is never far behind.

Never underestimate Miss Marple

‘Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction.’
Tana French

‘Miss Marple is spry, shrewd and compassionate.’
Sunday Telegraph

So good to hear the actual story instead of watching several TV dramas which do not stick quite so closely to the plot. Thoroughly enjoyable read.

One of my favourite stories of Miss Marple and well read by Stephanie Cole, while a huge fan of Joan Hickson Stephanie is another favourite actress which is why I find this so enjoyable.

Very different style
