About this listen
Here are six gripping cases with one thing in common: the astonishing deductive powers of Miss Marple.
©1960, 1979 Agatha Christie Limited, a Chorion Company. All rights reserved (P)1993 HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, London UKWhere does Miss Marple's Final Cases rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I didn't think that 'Miss Marple's Final Cases' was as good as some of Agatha Christie's other short story collections, but these stories were still intriguing and enjoyable to listen to.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
As this is a short story collection, the endings varied.There are eight stories in this collection, six of which feature Jane Marple. The last two stories do not, and are more supernatural in their style (narrated by Isla Blair). However, they all feature the usual Agatha Christie twists and turns.
What does Joan Hickson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The authentic voice of Miss Marple.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I like to listen to short stories one at a time. Maybe before going to bed, or on a short journey even. Which is why I love these type of collections. You don't have to finish these type of books in one go, as there are natural breaks at the end of each story.Any additional comments?
As usual with Agatha Christie, these stories are very entertaining and will keep listeners gripped until the end.Miss Marple Entertains... Again.

The narration, and the plot twist endings.Have you listened to any of Joan Hickson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have listened to several of her performances, and I love the way she can make each character distinctive. This is about the level of other performances I have heard.Exellent.
