Publisher's Summary

A grand old London hotelA series of alarming coincidencesDanger 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.’
Guardian

Delightful adventure.

What an absolute treat this little gem was. Stephanie Cole’s narration was superb. What justice it did to this clever Miss Marple instalment. First class entertainment.

Stephanie Cole is wonderful!

With all due respect to other narrators,I really wish to live in a world where Stephanie Cole does all of Agatha Christie's works.

Yup, all of them.

Her voice is a marvel and her interpretation is absolutely spot on; she manages to avoid making caricatures of characters that could easily end up seeking like mere tropes.
Have listened through 3 times just for the quality of the performance.

Great story brilliantly narrated

Stephanie Cole did an excellent job narrating this very exciting story by Agatha Christie. Her voice is calm and soothing. And she can do a great male voice; unlike Emilia Fox.
The motives, guilt and innocence of the main characters are different than the TV adaptations. So the ending was a surprise. I also enjoyed the depth of character details and dialogues that didn't make it into the TV adaptations.
I hope Stephanie Cole does more Marple stories, so we can have more choice of narrators.
