3.0 out of 5 stars Superior Atmosphere but Transparent Plot, 16 Nov 2003
By Gary F. Taylor "GFT" (Biloxi, MS USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In the midst of a crime wave involving a host of startling robberies, elderly Jane Marple takes a vacation at London's Bertram's Hotel--a hotel that specializes in recreating the luxuries of the bygone Edwardian age, complete with high tea, cozy armchairs by the fire, and world-class service. But when a young heiress staying at the hotel becomes involved with an undesirable man and the absent-minded Canon Pennyfeather mysteriously disappears from his rooms, Miss Marple quickly realizes that the hotel's famous service may include more than meets the eye.

Although Christie's novel successfully evokes the delicious pleasures of the hotel, the plot of AT BERTRAM'S HOTEL hinges on a series of unlikely coincidences and becomes increasingly transparent as the novel progresses. The mastermind behind the current crime wave is extremely obvious--and when the murder at last arrives, quite late in the novel, the killer is more obvious still. This is not one of the writer's better novels, and newcomers to Agatha Christie's works will likely be disappointed; recommended to hardcore fans only.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the most charming of the Miss Marple stories., 6 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I highly recommend this book to Agatha Christie fans of Miss Marple stories. It has a particular charm involving an elegant old-style hotel and its seem-to-be prominent guests. It has been a re-read for me for years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read with caution
I would just like to warn people that some obnoxious readers who left comments on the books also gave away the murderer. If you want to be surprised, read with caution.

This book is a page turner, but Miss Marple's contributions to the solution of the mystery seem to be incidental. Read more
