They Do It with Mirrors

A Miss Marple Mystery

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Emilia Fox

In Agatha Christie’s They Do It with Mirrors, the indomitable Miss Marple investigates some rather deadly doings at a rehabilitation center for delinquents.

Miss Marple senses danger when she visits a friend living in Stoneygates, a rehabilitation center for delinquents. Her fears are confirmed when someone shoots at the administrator. Although he is not injured, a mysterious visitor is less fortunate—shot dead simultaneously in another part of the building.

Pure coincidence? Miss Marple thinks not, and must use all her cunning to solve the riddle of the stranger’s visit … and his murder.

Just buy it, it's an A. Christie book!!

No one is worthy to critique such a master of her craft unless one has achieved her level. It's like trying to review a Brand, Rinehart, or Sayers, and not to be sexist i'll add a Doyle, and a Wilde. They're brilliance is established.
If you really must decide if this book is worth your credit, i'll attempt a review for you.
This is one of her 4 (or should I say 5 since there is a pair) great sleuth series. Although Miss Marple never "solves" a case by herself, she relies on her ability to 'see' a person for who they are so that she gently nudges others in the right direction to find the truth. Like all of Chrisities stories the twists are numerous yet once unraveled make perfect sense.
Her friend is in danger but just what that danger is or from where it comes is the mystery. In this tale, a slight of hand and misdirection of perception co-mingle with the usual complexity of relationships and no short amount of possible suspects to create an exciting page turner. The real surprise is the truth of the crime, which is...ha like I'd reveal that gem. It's a mystery so figure it out.
Enjoy this book, as I already know you'll buy it, and don't forget to read/listen to her 81 other gifts to the literary world.

Reader every fictional genre (even zombie and sci-fi), since you can't determine what you like unless you read it. FYI I do not like romance and westerns.

They Do It with Accents

American accents for Ruth and Carrie Louise, nicely delivered. What might be done MUCH better is the Southern American accent of Wally. Ouch.

Forrest Gump accent is off-putting

the narrator's "wally" accent is ridiculous. he's supposed to be midwestern American but sounds like Forrest Gump

Love Agatha Christie!

Love the story, but have to despair of the dreadful American accent given to Wally by the narrator. She did fine on the American women and the other accents , but awful on him.

Wonderful as always

Agatha Christie is a wonderful author. I can and do listen and read her books over and over. If you are looking for easy reads look no further
