The Murder at the Vicarage is Agatha Christie’s first mystery to feature the beloved investigator Miss Marple—as a dead body in a clergyman’s study proves to the indomitable sleuth that no place, holy or otherwise, is a sanctuary from homicide.

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.

I loved this story and the narration. Highly recommend this book. I felt as if I was there.

Wonderful experience

Really like Grant as the narrator if you just can't use Hugh Fraser. Found 3 places on this recording that skipped part of the book and it did not make sense. So you really have to already know the story line. Really shocking with a Production company putting this out.
Sentences and paragraphs removed. Censoring Agatha Christie???! Very strange indeed. They did it for the Hercule Poirot shows from the late 1990's. I guess I should not be surprised them altering history now as well.

Another Great Classic but Altered

My first Agatha Christi book

I love Agatha Christie & Miss Marple is one of my favorites. What I liked most about this book was the way the characters started out very one dimensional & seemingly predictable & as the storyline developed, they took on depth, personality, & made for an unexpected ending.

Kept Me Guessing

I am a HUGE fan!!

Let me first take a moment to appreciate the fantastic performance by Grant. How many voices can this man recreate?!

The story was at least an hour longer than it should have been. Christie tried her best to move suspicion off the culprits and hence needed to write a lot about other characters.

Fantastic performance

Miss Marple is a terrific character. she sticks it to the mansplainers, that's for sure. And Grant is sublime. One of my favorite readers.

Richard Grant is the ideal performer for Christie

This was a wonderful audiobook of an Agatha Christie classic. Of course the story was mysterious and twisty right until the end but the narration was top notch.

Delightful
