A joy to read from beginning to end. ("The New York Times")

edition.
Book Description
The Queen of Crime pits the Queen of Sleuths, Miss Marple, against one her deadliest, and most ingenious, adversaries. I suspect that future scholars of the detective novel will hold that its greatest practitioner-out-ranking even Ellery Queen and John Dickson Carr-has been Agatha Christie ...as she roundly demonstrates in At Bertram's Hotel. (The New York Times)

Bertram's is the best!,
By A Customer
This review is from: At Bertram's Hotel: A Miss Marple Mystery (Audio Cassette)
I am 11 and I loved this book! I read it in 1 day and I am the slowest reader in the world! The end is a complete suprise and it kept me guessing the entire way through. Miss Marple does and excellent job on finding outthe murder! This is a perfect book!!!

Marple tackles hard crime,
By RachelWalker "RachelW" (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: At bertram's Hotel (Paperback)
First, let me correct a misaprehension. This is NOT the first Miss Marple book. I don't understand where that notion came from, but it isn't right. The first Miss Marple book written by Ms Christie was "Murder at The Vicarage", and the second was "The Body in the Library". I believe this one was nearer the end, not the beginning, or Marple's sleuthing career. This is certainly one of my faourite Marple books (second only to "A Caribbean Mystery") The plot is great, a somewhat change of style for what Christie would normally pit Marple's wits against, yet it is refreshing and works well. The climax is brilliant. The plot is complex, involving, intriguing, exciting, and the solution believeable, and also a slight surprise. Strong characterisation, and an excellent and somewhat refreshing plot, make this one of the best Miss Marple books, and also one of Christie's best novels. (altough there are so many under that category, calling a book "one of her best" has become slightly ambiguous)

Miss Marple Ages,
By frumiousb "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: At bertram's Hotel (Paperback)
In a nod to the lifestyle in her earlier books, Miss Marple takes at a vacation at a hotel that perfectly reproduces pre-war life. Too good to be true? The aging detective's still sharp eyes help the police to sort this complex mystery. Perhaps not the strongest Miss Marple, but with many of the elements that made her a great character.
