Publisher Description

Miss Marple, Agatha Christie's deceptively mild spinster sleuth, is being treated to a few days' holiday by her niece, staying at Bertram's Hotel, a dignified, unostentatious establishment tucked away in a back street of busy Mayfair.

Here is a place where sedate upper class ladies, retired military gentlemen and the higher echelons of the clergy can indulge in the comforts of a bygone age. But Miss Marple begins to feel uneasy. Something sinister lurks beneath the polished veneer. Why are so many major crimes associated in some way with the hotel or somehow implicate eminently respectable people staying there?

June Whitfield stars as Miss Marple in this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of a classic brain-teaser from the Queen of Crime.

"I love Ms. Christie! No matter how many times I read her, I am still amazed at how she keeps me in the dark :0) I even go back and look for the clues she put right in front of me, but I never seem to catch them or the "culprit". She will always get at least 4 stars from me!! "

    " This is the 11th Miss Marple, and I have to say that I don't think very highly of it. The story has fantastic potential, with plenty of sub-plots and sub-sub-plots to keep you confused and unsure what's significant and what's not. Like much of Agatha Christie, it relies heavily on a fair amount of coincidence, which tends to annoy me. Unfortunately, this book simply does not live up to what one expects. The execution is poor and the pacing is problematic. "

    " As always, I love Agatha Christie. This one was a Miss Marple mystery. I was a little disappointed that the story line followed the policeman investigating the crime a lot more than Miss Marple herself. Still enjoyed it though. "

    " Really disappointed by this book, especially after just having read the great Cat Amongst the Pigeons. This mystery just moved too slowly, and although the clues were built up carefully throughout the novel, the end product of the murder and the revelation was just lacklustre and incomplete. Not a bad read, but not really a good one either. "

    " not quite the classic Miss Marple mystery (so the label on the cover is misleading), and in many ways unusual for Agatha Christie. was a little disappointed, to be honest. "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " My guess is that I really liked this book because Miss Marple is in a quintessential English hotel and has high tea and cakes. "

    " To some, its better to burn out than fade away. They shouldn't always be center stage, however. Good exploration of what becomes of innocence left idle. "

    " At Betram's Hotel is my all time favourite of the Miss Marple mysteries. I enjoy the complex layers, the overall plot, and the themes of change and progress. Christie's Miss Marple series does not need to be read in order to enjoy, although I prefer reading them in order. "

    " The lesson I learned from this book is: you change or you die. One of the great lessons of life, delivered by Agatha Christie via kindly, flinty, Jane Marple. I have read waaaaay more Christie books than I will ever admit to, but of them all, this is my favorite. "

    " After reading few Agatha Christie's mystery stories I think she wrote intelligent mystery stories for masses. Maybe the detctive isn't a policeman (who can be a represenattive of all society classes), but small, round and wealthy Belgian. Rather nice read. "

    " I reread this after watching the TV production with Geraldine McKewan. Any resemblance between the two stories is remote, setting and some of the characters. The original is better by far. "
