The Murder at the Vicarage
Opis książki
A quiet English villageA shocking murderAn unlikely detectiveNobody 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.
‘Agatha Christie is the gateway drug to crime fiction both for readers and for writers.’
Val McDermid
‘Always keeps her reader enthralled and guessing to the end.’

I absolutely loved this! I think it is the first novel in which Miss Marple features, and it is terrific. Agatha Christie was by no means a softy, and her depictions of the various characters are sharp indeed, in places. I really would like to know if any real murder has been so complicated as those in crime novels and, really, the solution here is a over elaborate: a bit of aanticlimax - but aren’t they so often? Richard E Grant performs, rather than narrates, apparently, and his performance is excellent, save, perhaps, for the Scottish and Irish accents, which are rather overdone. His Miss Marple is very much, to me, like Joan Hickson, my absolute favourite. The old biddies around the village are a real hoot and I often rewound to re-listen to them. Agatha Christie was no fool, by any means and her insights are piercing.  It’s interesting that her nephew, Raymond West, here, it’s really a bit of a bore, but in later novels he becomes much more sound and a real support to Miss Marpl
