About this listen

 A grand old London hotel A series of alarming coincidences Danger lurking down every corridor

Impeccable service. Luxurious rooms. Eccentric guests. There are worse places for Canon Pennyfather to find himself stranded than Bertram’s Hotel.

But when he gets his dates in a muddle and attempts to travel to Lucerne a day too late, he unwittingly sets off a violent chain of events.

And Miss Marple is convinced there is more going on than meets the eye.

Never underestimate Miss Marple

‘Agatha Christie inspired me, aged eleven, to write my own murder mystery set in a country village. I can’t remember much of the plot (think the vicar did it) but Christie has been inspiring me ever since.’
Elly Griffiths

‘Brilliant.’

My favourite Christie story

Once again Christie delivers exactly what is expected, an entertaining, weaving plot that twists to a conclusion with, with hindsight, appears so obvious. I enjoyed the pace and Stephanie Cole certainly gave Miss Marple a likable, believable character. The audio quality was crisp, clear and only a few points gave away a break in reading. Altogether a pleasant experience.

Not a bad little read

The story is a classic Miss Marple set in a timeless London hotel. Stephanie Cole’s reading is excellent and her ability to portray different people and different ages is excellent. I would recommend this.

Very enjoyable

Having read, ‘In the Dead Of Winter’ and hearing Nicola Upson (one of my favourite authors) recommending ‘At Bertram’s Hotel’ as, in her opinion, one of Agatha Christie’s best I ordered it and was not disappointed. Beautifully narrated and totally absorbing.

So pleased!

Really enjoyed this book although I wasn’t sure how Stephanie Cole would be narrating it. I needent have worried as she was marvellous. I note she has narrated others so I will try more.
