Summary
A strange house
A ghost from the past
As soon as she moves into Hillside, Gwenda knows there’s something strange about this house.
A sealed room. A hidden door. The apparition of a young woman being strangled.
But strangest of all – this all seems quite familiar.
As her friend Jane Marple investigates, the answer seems to lie in a crime committed nearly twenty years ago.
The killer may have gotten away with murder. But Miss Marple is never far behind.
Never underestimate Miss Marple
Critic reviews
"Miss Marple is spry, shrewd, and compassionate." (Sunday Telegraph)
"A puzzle that is tortuous, surprising, and finally satisfying." (Sunday Express)

Miss Marple beckons
I hope to never meet Miss Marple as I am sure of certain death within the hour. However Agatha Christie has once again let Jane Marple solve another mystery with the style and panache that is all her own. Whilst Miss M is not the main character in this story, her hints from the background made this a good read. Stephanie Cole was an excellent narrator and her clear characters were well defined and in some cases most amusing. The pace was perfect, no notable changes in either the audio quality or the readers stamina. Highly recommended.

Interesting mystery narrated perfectly ..
Overall another great Marple mystery narrated beautifully by Stephanie Cole. As usual Agatha Christine's array of complex characters combine to create a rich reader experience or in this case listener! Enjoy 📖

A delight!
I love Miss Marple, and this was one of my favourite books. I very much enjoyed Stephanie Cole's performance, and would recommend this audiobook.

Just the thing for a murky afternoon.
What makes this so satisfying is Stephanie Cole's reading. There is the aura of County (UK listeners will understand) about her similar to Joan Hickson in the old BBC dramatisations. You need that, just as Philip Marlowe needs snarky Californian, or Miss Marple doesn't work.

The best - and creepiest - Miss Marple
This is my favourite Miss Marple mystery, and Stephanie Cole's fantastic narration more than does it justice.

Quick moving and full of suspense
Great narrator who is perfect for this story, excellent character voices and absolutely perfect Marple. This story is up there with the best of Agatha yet not so well known, written during the war, and published later ... Go on .... Try it....a real treat and a must for all fans of Christie.
