Product Details


Product Description

From AudioFile

Miss Jane Marple's holiday in London at the well-run, traditional Bertram's Hotel turns out to be more than she bargained for as her suspicions are aroused by some of the guests. Her worst fears are confirmed when the doorman is murdered in strange circumstances. With the help of clever Chief Inspector Davey, who is occupied with the investigation of a series of robberies, the complicated plot is satisfactorily concluded. Rosemary Leach so skillfully chooses voices for the characters that there is no doubt that this is exactly what the author intended each to sound like. With perfect pacing and exquisite timing, the story is seamlessly told. The delivery is so successful that one actually forgets that only one person is reading; the performance sounds as if it is being delivered by an entire cast of actors. S.S.R.

Book Description

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… --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marple tackles hard crime, Jun 6 2002
By RachelWalker "RachelW" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
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)

4.0 out of 5 stars Miss Marple Ages, Dec 9 2000
By frumiousb "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but not one of my Marple favorites.
Miss Marple goes on vacation to stay at Bertram's Hotel. If you were thinking she was going to have some kind of adventure like she did in _A Caribbean Mystery_ or _Nemesis_ while... Read more

At Bertram's Hotel is a most delightful mystery. It sucks you in, and won't let you go (as all Agatha Christie's books tend to do!). Read more
