Have been looking forward to this since it was announced a year ago - and have been frustrated by the delays in publication dates. But it is well worth the wait!
Author clearly knows his stuff, has spoken to actors concerned and spins a great yarn.
Reading is ok, marred by a few off pronunciations.

What’s nit to love about Christie

I fell for the title of this book, thinking it would offer a deeper literary, cultural and psychological analysis of Miss Marple as a fascinating female figure of yore. Unfortunately, the book merely skims through the chronology of various productions and interpretations of her character. I caught myself yawning throughout.

I often couldn’t help but cringe at the breathy, almost slurred narration. It’s a shame, because I really wanted to enjoy this audiobook.

Too superficial

So wanted to enjoy this but although I am sure the research is excellent the narration appalling and is oddly like AI reading it with the emphasis in all the wrong places (or mainly not at all) and lots of heavy breathing and an oddly soft narration inappropriate for a factual book (albeit a fictional topic). I did listen tp a preview but that was just the preface/introduction being read out so assumed it would improve once we got to actual text - it didn't!!! returning. Have 2 stars to story just because couldn't actually listen to it.

Breathy and oddly punctuated narration
