    About this audiobook

    A quiet English village A shocking murder An unlikely detective

    Nobody liked Colonel Protheroe.

    So when he’s found dead in the vicarage study, there’s no absence of suspects in the seemingly peaceful village of St Mary Mead.

    In fact, Jane Marple can think of at least seven.

    As gossip abounds in the parlours and kitchens of the parish, everyone becomes an amateur detective.

    The police dismiss her as a prying busybody, but only the ingenious Miss Marple can uncover the truth . . .

    Never underestimate Miss Marple.

    ‘Agatha Christie is the gateway drug to crime fiction both for readers and for writers.’
    Val McDermid

    ‘Always keeps her reader enthralled and guessing to the end.’

    • 5/5
      Richard E Grant’s reading is superb. So many different voices for so many characters makes it feel like there’s a large cast of actors. Such a wonderful voice and interpretation.
    • 5/5
      A bit slow to start with, but I really enjoyed Miss Marple first mystery. Richard E. Grant's performance was brilliant!
    • 3/5
      Great story but terrible narration. The narrator read the words with awkward deliberation and care as if speaking English to a foreign visitor.
    • 5/5
      Great story, full of suspense with a surprising ending, superbly read!
