'Brilliant' Guardian 'No one on either side of the Atlantic does it better' New York Times


Product Description

A man is shot at in a juvenile reform home - but someone else dies...Miss Marple senses danger when she visits a friend living in a Victorian mansion which doubles as a rehabilitiation centre for delinquents. Her fears are confirmed when a youth fires a revolver at the administrator, Lewis Serrocold. Neither is injured. But a mysterious visitor, Mr Gilbrandsen, is less fortunate -- shot dead simultaneously in another part of the building. Pure coincidence? Miss Marple thinks not, and vows to discover the real reason for Mr Gilbrandsen's visit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Miss Marple visits an old friend, Dec 1 2003
By Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: They Do It with Mirrors (Audio Cassette)
When Miss Marple visits her old school friend Ruth Van Rydock, she discovers that Ruth is concerned about their mutual friend Carrie Louise. Ruth had recently visited with Carrie Louise, and something in the household did not seem right. She persuades Miss Marple to visit Carrie Louise herself to see if she can detect what's wrong. When she arrives, Jane discovers that Carrie's home has been turned into a haven for delinquent boys by her husband. Soon a murder occurs and the plot thickens. Although professional investigators are called on the scene, Miss Marple exhibits her famous powers of deduction and comes up with a solution before they do. This is a typical, clever Agatha Christie mystery.

4.0 out of 5 stars TVs own Marple reads a Marple mystery, Sep 23 2003
By F. Behrens "Frank Behrens" (Keene, NH USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: They Do It with Mirrors (Audio Cassette)
Again we have a good opportunity to see how two different writers adapt for the screen an Agatha Christie mystery. In 1985, Helen Hayes played a very American Miss Marple in "Murder With Mirrors." Of course, better known is the Joan Hickson version that appeared in the USA on Mystery Theatre. Now that same Ms. Hickson reads the original version on a 4-audio cassette boxed set from Audio Partners with the British title "They Do It With Mirrors."

The plot revolves around a home for juvenile delinquents set up by Lewis Serrocold who is married to Carrie Louise, an old school chum of Marple's. The relationships are a bit hard to sort out when one is hearing a tape and cannot turn back a few pages to see who is who, but things get moving when three shots ring out, two behind a closed door and one far off. Murder (but for what reason?), attempted murder (but was it really?), and a little stab at slow poisoning (if that is what it was) complicate things. But by drawing her usual analogies between those concerned and those whom Marple knew long ago, she is able to hit upon the solution.

Unfortunately, I feel this is not one of Christie's better plots--which still makes it a fairly good one!--but the title more or less gives the solution away. I also find that Hickson's voice, so perfect for Marple, is not as flexible as those of other readers in this series and she makes no attempt to act out the various parts. Now and then, but not very often, she does grow a tad hard to understand for a word or two. Still, it makes great listening on long trips or just sitting there on a cold winter's night with a mug of hot something and a good book on the tape deck.

4.0 out of 5 stars When Miss Marple Visits Friends, Murder Is Sure To Follow, May 22 2001
By Antoinette Klein (Hoover, Alabama USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Strange things have been happening at Stonygates, the home of Carrie Louise Martin, an old friend of Miss Marple's. Carrie Louise's sister, Ruth Van Rydock, has asked Miss Marple to visit Carrie Louise and determine what the trouble is and to alleviate her worries about her sister.

Agatha Christie once again takes us into a family estate overrun with family members. This family is particularly complex because Carrie Louise has been married three times and there is a wide assortment of relatives including stepsons, a widowed daughter, grandchildren, and even a current husband. The husband is deeply involved with corrective training and has turned the family home into a school where first offenders come for counseling and attention. So to this already strained situation, Mrs. Christie includes psychologists and therapists and a situation ripe for murder.

Indeed, three murders occur and there is much unpleasantness before Miss Marple explains it all.

This story (also published under the title "Murder With Mirrors") was adapted for TV in 1991 with Joan Hickson in the role of Miss Marple and Jean Simmons as Carrie Louise.
