At Bertram's Hotel (Dramatised)

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: June Whitfield

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.

Another great BBC radio production

I really enjoy the BBC radio collection of A. Christie. June Whitfield is excellent as the voice of Miss Marple. Although Miss Marple is not at the center of this story line, I still really enjoyed the mystery and the background noises.

Magnificent

I love Agatha Christie’s work and have read and listened to them all. This dramatization moves at a great pace and remains pretty close to the book. Can’t get enough!!

Love, Love, Love It!

I fell in love with this story when I watched it on TV. Then I heard the real version narrated by Ms Whitfield, and I fell in love all over again! I give the story and performance a five star review.

Good adaptation

Stayed true to the original plot, unlike the ITV production with Geraldine McEwan.

Fast paced, with good voice acting. I only wish it had lasted longer!

excellent entertainment

Fun interpretation. And fun to listen! At Bertram's Hotel.
Similar to TV version. Highly recommend it.
