4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth a listen. 1 Nov 2009
By Elspeth
Format:Audio CD
Enjoyed these stories very much - hadn't heard them before. I think Joan Hickson was THE BEST Miss Marple on TV and her voice is the one I want to hear telling the Miss Marple stories, as I can just picture her various facial expressions from the telling.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for Miss Marple�s fans 5 April 2005
By Miguel M. Santos VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
Miss Marple is my favourite of all of the recurrent Agatha Christie's characters and this collection of nine short stories didn't disappoint me in the least. Of the nine, two do not include the famous sleuth but are rather of a supernatural nature (calling them ghost stories would be a bit too much) and one of the Miss Marple's stories is taken from another book. All nine are very good, some of them among Christie's best plots. I loved the book and I strongly recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good mysteries but the two 'other stories' are a waste of time 5 Aug 2009
By J. R. Johnson-Rollings
Format:Paperback
Although they are titled as the final cases of Miss Marple, there is nothing to really distinguish them as being late in her career, although she clearly has a reputation and as necessitated by the short-story format a lot of the situations are described to the detective and reader rather than being played out narratively.

The Marple stories included in this anthology are very interesting and traditional murder mysteries. They are well executed in this medium and can be read through quite quickly.

There are however two stories included in this collection that do not feature Miss Marple. In fact, they couldn't even be described to sit within the crime genre. They should really have both been classified as horror and really didn't fit in with the rest of the book - I would have preferred they had been left out as they had no sensible conclusion and it feels that they were a waste of time reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the time
This was surprisingly good and a lot better than the last cases of Poirot. Each story was a stand alone and individually worth a good listen!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very dated
Had a yen to read some Agatha Christie but had forgotten how outdated and silly the stories are. So contrived, they would never sell these days.
