About this listen

A movie star

A deadly cocktail

A murder

When glamorous Marina Gregg came to live in St Mary Mead, tongues were sure to wag.

But, with a local gossip’s sudden death, has one tongue wagged a bit too much?

As the police chase false leads, and two more victims meet untimely ends, Miss Marple starts to ask her own questions.

What secrets might link a peaceful English village and a star of the silver screen?

Never underestimate Miss Marple

‘Christie’s ingenious plots and fiendish twists set the bar for all of us who follow in her footsteps.’
Ruth Ware

‘The pieces finally drop into place with a satisfying click.’

A very good Agatha Christie story, not simply for the murder mystery itself but for the social context and the examination of changing times. Miss Marple is wonderful, particularly in her dealings with her annoying lady companion Miss Knight. Emilia Fox also does a very good job of narrating the story.

An excellent mystery

I took a little while to get into this one, but when the plot unfolded it didn’t disappoint! It was so enjoyable and has a charm that is addictive- ingenious and funny, keeping you guessing right up to the end. Emilia Fox is a fab narrator- managing so many different characters with ease.
I am looking forward to listening to the next.

Another great book from A C

"The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side" is another excellent mystery by Agatha Christie, relaxing, light, fun, intelligent and well written. I've read it several times and I always enjoy it immensely. However, this was the first time I had listened to the audio version and the exquisite narrator made it an absolute treat! Emilia Fox is one of the best narrators I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. I will definitely listen to more books narrated by Ms Fox - her reading of the book was music to my ears!

The narrator made the book even better!

A good Ms Marple story well narrated. Enjoyed it as it naturally had lots of twists and turns. Christie is best at painting social pictures of people places and situations.
