Summary
A movie star
A deadly cocktail
A murder
When glamorous Marina Gregg came to live in St Mary Mead, tongues were sure to wag.
But, with a local gossip’s sudden death, has one tongue wagged a bit too much?
As the police chase false leads, and two more victims meet untimely ends, Miss Marple starts to ask her own questions.
What secrets might link a peaceful English village and a star of the silver screen?
Never underestimate Miss Marple
‘Christie’s ingenious plots and fiendish twists set the bar for all of us who follow in her footsteps.’
Ruth Ware
‘The pieces finally drop into place with a satisfying click.’

Brilliant narration and story
I loved Cherry and Gladys' accents and Miss Marple's reaction to Mrs Knight! Very entertaining.

The Mirror Cracked
Not my favourite AC book but kept me entertained over a few dog walks. It goes on a wee bit but was a BOGOF so can’t complain. Narration was good.

Marvelous Miss Marple!
This, my first Audible listen to an Agatha Christie book, was pure pleasure & perfectly performed by actress Emilia Fox.
Although familiar with the story from a screen adaptation, and knowing the far reaching health consequences of being infected with German Measles whilst pregnant, the unravelling of the mystery was still enthralling. It is timeless piece, as how can one not be delighted with the old fashioned but insightful musings of marvelous Miss Marple?

Glad I bought it
Personally, I don’t understand why the narration got so many negative reviews. I have heard some terrible ones on here, this wasn’t one of them.
I hadn’t read this book, I had watched the Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor version, so I knew the story.
For Marple lovers, she probably actually isn’t in it (the story) enough but I enjoyed it.

Sad story, narrated beautifully
I like all the Miss Marple mysteries and Emilia Fox is my favourite narrator of them. The story twists and turns without any horrific violence, Agatha Christie does psychological horror and we come away from the novel feeling as sorry for the murderer as we do their victims. Christie's straightforward language keeps her novels as fresh today as when they were first published.
