Great BBC radio productions

June Whitfield is wonderful and the rest of the cast is terrific. Yes, these stories are abridged but faithful to Ms. Christie. The only negative for me is that inspector Slack is always David Horvitch.

Too little of good thing

I love these dramatised adaptations that bring ACs books to life. These are spectacularly done but too short!

Would love to have them longer because that is how good they are!

Wonderful cast ensemble pulls you in.

June Whitfield as Miss Marple was absolutely stunning the entire cast that was pulled together for each of these different segments was terrific made for great listening as I was driving on long road trips for work I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it and I'm looking forward to Future ones that are posted on Audible.

Always a treat to hear her books

Alls I can say is. I. Love. Miss. Marple. Agatha Christie had to be one of my favorite authors of all times. Hey boss were before their time in my opinion. I'll read a Agatha Christie book before a lot of these others out here.

BBC Quality Play

All these stories and plays, are well known and enjoyable.
June Whitfield and other cast members were excellent.
A bit like going back to an earlier era, when we’d all huddle around the Radio.
Took me back a few years.

Good adaptations

They made some changes but that's understandable given that this is for radio. Overall was captivating and flowed smoothly

Great Full_cast BBC radio productions.

Really enjoyable to listen to MIss Marple in a full-cast audio with background sound effects. June Whitfield gives great performance as Miss Marple. I really enjoyed listening to this series.

Cozy read

I love the full cast audible books!!! I also enjoyed an assortment of stories. Easy and comfortable.

Wonderful collection

Performance was magnificent. Loved the voices. Perfect listen for any Agatha Christie and Miss Marple fan.

Well performed entertainment!

Adaptations of Agatha Christie novels and short stories, efficiently written for a radio play, extremely well acted. Very entertaining!

Ruined by adverts

I think it is ridiculous that, having paid for an audiobook, I then have to listen to a two minute advert - not just once, but repeated in between each individual play. Ruined an otherwise good audiobook.

Where is the original?

Excellent productions which really took me back to my childhood. It was fantastic to share these with my children who are now great fans too.

Confusingly though this is “More” which surely signifies that there is an original Marple Casebook? This however is nowhere to be found. Please Audible will you hurry up and get the rest on the site? Thanks

Marvellous Marple!

Another excellent bunch of stories/plays which again has sated my Mrs Christie addiction. Excellent dramatisations with Miss Marple played by June Whitefield and an excellent cast supporting her. Nemesis has always been my favourite Christie book and I was 'fair chuffed' to see it was included in this set which also included some lesser known works by the author. Overall and excellent listen.

To listen to this I sat on my favourite comfy chair, grabbed a hot chocolate, shut the rain out and didn't move till I had heard them all! A perfect day :)

Love the stories - hate the adverts

I have no idea why this audiobook has 2 minute long adverts for this very product (as well as the Poirot audiobooks) between each story. I've tried to contact BBC studios directly about this - but there doesn't seem to be an easy channel for this feedback. Ruins what is an otherwise good set of dramatisations.

June Whitfield makes an excellent miss Marple.

this collection is compelling. it is made up of really good BBC radio productions that feature June Whitfield as Miss Marple. highly recommended

Love Miss Marple

Brilliant drama with June Whitfield. Who needs TV when you can let your imagination go with these drama series.

Great Miss Marple

I have loved listening to Miss Marple aka June Whitfield totally spellbinding and so disappointed they have come to an end.

Great fun

These are great fun and the brilliant June Whitfield is the perfect Miss Marple. Really good adaptations, it would be good for Audible to include headings for ‘omnibus’ chapters so navigation is easier.

There is a review on here complaining about a two minute ‘advert’ I think they mean the cast credits and producer credits at the end of the programme, standard for radio plays and in no way are an advert just giving credit to writers and cast! Strange to think they are a commercial.

Really worthwhile for all Agatha Christie fans.

Good cases if you’re a fan of Agatha Christie

Typical cases - well abridged and well acted. Settling before sleep? Not to be missed by Miss Marples fans

Classic listening.

Just terrific stories and a great cast headed by the wonderful June Whitfield. Most enjoyable and worth putting it in your library.
