Product Description
Synopsis
Introducing Miss Jane Marple It's a historic event in detective fiction as the unflappable sleuth's passion for gossip - and cheerful recognition of the worst side of human nature - leads her to a crime scene at the local vicarage. Colonel Protheroe, St. Mary Mead's most loathed magistrate, has been found shot through the head. But it isn't the "pompous old brute's" murder that raises eyebrows, but rather the scandalous secrets it exposes. Those secrets are about to put St. Mary Mead on the map - and send Miss Marple on the trail of a killer with something to hide.

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 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: At Bertram's Hotel (Miss Marple Mysteries) (Paperback)
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.
