Publisher's summary

Miss Marple: The Complete Story Collection gathers together in one magnificent volume all of Agatha Christie’s short stories featuring her beloved intrepid investigator, Miss Marple. It’s an unparalleled compendium of murder, mayhem, mystery, and detection that represents some of the finest short form fiction in the crime fiction field, and is an essential omnibus for Christie fans.

Described by her friend Dolly Bantry as “the typical old maid of fiction,” Miss Marple has lived almost her entire life in the sleepy hamlet of St. Mary Mead. Yet, by observing village life she has gained an unparalleled insight into human nature—and used it to devastating effect. As her friend Sir Henry Clithering, the ex-Commissioner of Scotland Yard, has been heard to say: “She’s just the finest detective God ever made”—and many Agatha Christie fans would agree.

A must for Christie fans!

Love Marple -this collection is a must have for Christie fans. Truly a classic. As a shorty story compilation it’s great for “bite sized” listening.

Classic Miss Marple - uneven narration

I was happy to get this collection of stories, it even had one I hadn’t heard before in any other collection - Greenshaw’s Folly. But I was rather disappointed in Juliet Stevenson’s narration - which is usually so excellent - she made Miss Marple sound rather nasal and petulant in places. Reminded me of a Mary Austen or Mary Musgrove from other audio stories - disagreeable characters with the kind of voice I don’t associate with Jane Marple. Otherwise the voices were very good. No one writes anymore the way Agatha Christie did! Which is why I listen to her stories over and over.

Loved the narrator!

There is nothing worse than a book you love being read terribly. This was a marvelous performance, loved listening to the narrator.
