About this listen
Christmas should be a time of joy and warmth, but for Miss Marple, it brings a haunting sense of dread. When she meets a charming couple during a holiday stay, her instincts tell her something is horribly wrong. The woman's life, Miss Marple fears, hangs by a thread, though everyone else sees nothing but holiday cheer. As a veil of deadly intent lurks beneath festive decorations and warm firesides, Miss Marple races against the ticking clock of the holiday season to expose a sinister plot. A Christmas Tragedy invites readers to witness a holiday mystery where merry appearances hide murderous intent, and only Miss Marple can reveal the twisted truth behind the tragedy.
PLEASE NOTE: when you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Story
In The Idol House of Astarte, Agatha Christie spins an enchanting yet eerie tale, turning an innocent country outing into a sinister encounter with the supernatural. As the story unfolds at a seemingly harmless pagan shrine, an ancient statue of the goddess Astarte casts an unsettling presence, hinting at dark forces. When a man suddenly dies after a bizarre ritual, what begins as a harmless story told among friends morphs into an unsettling mystery. Is there truly a supernatural force at work, or is this yet another case where human nature outshines superstition in its cunning?

Story
Some secrets can only be kept by the dead. When Dr. Rosen, a man with enemies in dark places, is found dead at the bottom of his staircase, everyone suspects foul play. Four people were close enough to know his fears—and perhaps, his fate. Each carries their own scars, secrets, and strange alibis. As suspicion falls on them, Miss Marple enters a maze of mistrust and hidden motives, where shadows of a past life reveal a chilling truth. The Four Suspects spins a deadly game of who, if anyone, can truly be trusted, and what treacheries linger in the hearts of even the innocent.

Story
Some secrets can only be kept by the dead. When Dr. Rosen, a man with enemies in dark places, is found dead at the bottom of his staircase, everyone suspects foul play. Four people were close enough to know his fears—and perhaps, his fate. Each carries their own scars, secrets, and strange alibis. As suspicion falls on them, Miss Marple enters a maze of mistrust and hidden motives, where shadows of a past life reveal a chilling truth. The Four Suspects spins a deadly game of who, if anyone, can truly be trusted, and what treacheries linger in the hearts of even the innocent.

Story
A blinding snowstorm - and a homicidal maniac - traps a small party of friends in an isolated estate. Out of this deceptively simple setup, Agatha Christie fashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers, which in turn would provide the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in history. From this classic title novella to the deliciously clever gems on its tail (solved to perfection by Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple), this rare collection of murder most foul showcases Christie at her inventive best.

Story
Miss Marple encounters a compelling murder mystery in the sleepy little village of St. Mary Mead, where under the seemingly peaceful exterior of an English country village lurks intrigue, guilt, deception and death. Colonel Protheroe, local magistrate and overbearing land-owner is the most detested man in the village. Everyone—even in the vicar—wishes he were dead. And very soon he is—shot in the head in the vicar's own study. Faced with a surfeit of suspects, only the inscrutable Miss Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues that will lead to the unmasking of the killer.

Doesn't Audible listen to the Narration?
Doesn't Audible listen to the narration before releasing a book? I can't imagine anybody other than the narrators mother listened to that narration and thought it was good.

Poor narration
Not only is the narrator not British, but he has an odd inflection at the end if sentences.

The weird tone of the narration is off putting
The narration is very odd with no intonations and almost no pauses. It is actually hard to listen to.

Wrong narrator -- get "Midwinter Murder" instead
I did not like the narrator for this piece. it is a short story about Miss Marple, but this narrator is an American man. Having a Miss Marple story read by a man with an American accent was just off- putting and not as fun to listen to. If you want to listen to this story, buy the Midwinter Murder collection instead. It's got a bunch of other stories too, and the narrator for this same story in that collection is a British woman, which just goes better with the overall story I think. As far as the story goes, I think it's kind of a tragic little story, but Agatha Christie can do no wrong. I really enjoy Miss Marple and her observations on the world.
