Summary

When Miss Marple comes up from the country for a holiday in London, she finds what she's looking for at Bertram's Hotel: traditional decor, impeccable service, and an unmistakable atmosphere of danger behind the highly polished veneer.

Yet, not even Miss Marple can foresee the violent chain of events set in motion when an eccentric guest makes his way to the airport on the wrong day.

Long may Agatha's books be published.

As with all A.C books it's well written. Stephanie Cole narrates the book in great style. All round a very good way to spend time.

Totally entertaining

I listened to the a chapter at a time over a number of weeks and found it really enjoyable. Apart from one character accent (sounding like an extra from a vampire movie to be honest) the reading / performance was spot on and highly entertaining. Well worth a listen.

A brilliant book and wonderful narration

It is so good to rediscover these stories through Audible and Stephanie Cole 's narration is fantastic. Such a slowly sinister and dark novel.

Delightfully read

I am only recently come to the delights of the Miss Marple books by Agatha Christie and this book as read by Stephanie Cole is, so far, one of the highlights.

The story is as complex as you’d expect from this particular author but what sets this audiobook apart is the narration. The sheer wealth of different voices used by Stephanie Cole really brings each character to life from the fast, breathy voices of the younger ladies to the deep sonorous voice used for Father. It is like honey on the ears.
