About this listen

A quiet English village

A shocking murder

An unlikely detective

Nobody liked Colonel Protheroe.

So when he’s found dead in the vicarage study, there’s no absence of suspects in the seemingly peaceful village of St Mary Mead.

In fact, Jane Marple can think of at least seven.

As gossip abounds in the parlours and kitchens of the parish, everyone becomes an amateur detective.

The police dismiss her as a prying busybody, but only the ingenious Miss Marple can uncover the truth . . .

Never underestimate Miss Marple.

story holds up

I didnt like the voice acting as much cause some of the women characters ended up sounding like old man but the story holds up very well

Great story, good voice acting

I loved this story - Agatha Christie at her best. The characters were what made this story - I forgot how genuinely laugh out loud funny her writing is, and this story is a classic of village life with such brilliant characters and biting observational wit.

The voice acting was pretty good - he didn’t do a good job of women’s voices, so the old ladies sounded more like gruff old men, but he did at least differentiate between all the different voices and that was the important thing.
