Miss Marple Mysteries

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Mark Bowen

In The Idol House of Astarte, Agatha Christie spins an enchanting yet eerie tale, turning an innocent country outing into a sinister encounter with the supernatural. As the story unfolds at a seemingly harmless pagan shrine, an ancient statue of the goddess Astarte casts an unsettling presence, hinting at dark forces. When a man suddenly dies after a bizarre ritual, what begins as a harmless story told among friends morphs into an unsettling mystery. Is there truly a supernatural force at work, or is this yet another case where human nature outshines superstition in its cunning? Enter Miss Marple, who, with her unique grasp of human motives, challenges the thin veil between myth and murder. Agatha Christie leaves her readers on edge, blending suspense with ancient intrigue and leaving us wondering—are some mysteries better left unsolved?

Strange narration

The narrator seemed to have a strange lilt to his voice, often ending a sentence as if a question. Very distracting.

The Idol House of Astarte

It was too short. Not enough information about the characters.
Miss Marple should have had a bigger role.
