Summary
A classic Marple mystery, read by Emilia Fox.
In utter disbelief Miss Marple read the letter addressed to her from the recently deceased Mr Rafiel—an acquaintance she had met briefly on her travels. Recognising in Miss Marple a natural flair for justice, Mr Rafiel had left instructions for her to investigate a crime after his death. The only problem was, he had failed to tell her who was involved or where and when the crime had been committed. It was most intriguing.

Perfect in every way
I loved this reading of a story which I think of as one of Agatha Christie’s most intriguing creations. Beautifully read by Emilia Fox

Great Emilia Fox!
Emilia Fox is a wonderful narrator and a great performer! What a joy to listen to her!
She adds depth, emotion and funny moments. She has an incredible range of voices It is a pleasure to listen to all her voices.

Emilia Fox is the story's Nemesis
While Christie is the story's birth mother, Fox makes the story come alive! Wonderful characterisation and superb subtlety. I loved every nuance of the plot.

Miss Marple at her best!
Having been disappointed by “At Bertram’s Hotel,” I was slightly worried about listening to “Nemesis” but there was no need. The plot and characters are carefully crafted by Ms Christie with plenty of red herrings and it was brought to life effectively by the narrator. One of the best of Christie’s works.

Would have been better without the accents
Classic AC but not for everyone this book has a lot of old fashioned prejudice towards foreign nationals and a lot of victim blaming for people who may have undergone S. Assault. The book itself is good but the narration is terrible at times. If the narrator hadn't tried accents and just read the book then it would have been so much better, she has a wonderful normal reading voice just not accents.

Trigger Warning: Victim Blaming
Any additional comments?
Really appalling amounts of victim blaming. I mean I know its an old book, from the point of view of even older people but theres some really shocking sentiments from quite a few men in the story. This is just a warning because it took me badly by surprise.
Its still one of the better Mrs Marple stories, and one of the few I've come across that actually deals with her perspective. She can be such an all-knowing all-seeing background character in some books its nice to see her stumped.
