Publisher's summary

At Bertram’s Hotel the intrepid Miss Marple, on holiday in London, must solve a deadly mystery at the end of a chain of very violent events.

An old-fashioned London hotel is not quite as reputable as it makes out to be.…

When Miss Marple comes up from the country for a holiday in London, she finds what she’s looking for at Bertram’s Hotel: traditional decor, impeccable service, and an unmistakable atmosphere of danger behind the highly-polished veneer.

Period charm, with a twist

Mrs. Christie pulls the rug out from under the reader once again but with plenty of warning as to what's up in the story. The reader is lead to believe the story is about a specific set of characters, but finds out that there's more to it than that.

I've read At Bertram's Hotel many times but I still like listening to it to see not only whodunnit, but how She dunnit.

Really takes one back to better days.

Loved all the rich detail and character and plot development. Had seen this on screen and as usual the book is much better. The performance es superb.

One of my favorites

What made the experience of listening to At Bertram's Hotel the most enjoyable?

This is just one of my favorite Agatha Christie's. It has everything that makes her books so enjoyable, the wonderful eccentric British characters, the astute character observations, a well plotted story. There's a reason why her books have stood the test of time. In this case, Stephanie Cole does a marvelous job of bringing Miss Marple to life.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I just adore Miss Marple. Something about this little old lady no one pays attention to, but she's so astute, a much better observer than all the "smarter" people around her.

Have you listened to any of Stephanie Cole’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've enjoyed Stephanie Cole's performances before, but this was the first time I've listened to her read, and it was wonderful. She brought all the characters to life, but more importantly it was a well-paced reading.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When the various police authorities have gathered with Miss Marple in the hotel and she keeps pulling rabbits out of the hat, surprising them with all the things she's noticed and discovered about the various guests and hotel employees.

Who doesn't like MIss Marple?

Another fine MIss Marple book. I am so used to Hugh Fraser reading Agatha Christie books, that at first I was disappointed with Stephanie Cole's voice. But once I got used to her deep voice, it was fine. The mystery itself, was interesting and there was a lot going on beneath the quietness of Bertram's Hotel.

Enjoyable

The performance is great. However, the story isn’t the strongest nor sufficiently suspenseful for a Miss Marple mystery.

Love!

Any additional comments?

First Agatha Christie novel I've listened to, I though it being a mystery it would be incredibly hard to follow, but it wasn't at all and it was very well performed.
