Nemesis

A Miss Marple Mystery

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Emilia Fox

In Agatha Christie’s baffling detective story, Nemesis, a letter from a dead man instructs Miss Marple how to conduct an investigation into a puzzlingly unspecific crime.

In utter disbelief, Miss Marple read the letter addressed to her from the recently deceased Mr. Rafiel—an acquaintance she had met briefly on her travels. He had left instructions for her to investigate a crime after his death. The only problem was, he had failed to tell her who was involved or where and when the crime had been committed. It was most intriguing.

Soon she is faced with a new crime—the ultimate crime—murder. It seems someone is adamant that past evils remained buried. . . .

Well-read, relaxing Miss Marple Mystery

Emilia Fox did a brilliant job performing/reading this book. I love Agatha Christie novels, and Miss Marple ones are usually great for a "cozy mystery." The usual twists and surprises are there. Loved it!

A great little mistery

Whodunit's

What aspect of Emilia Fox’s performance would you have changed?

A lot of her voicis was the same so that could have been better.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Her first conversation whith miss Temple

The last Miss Marple

The story is vintage Miss Marple, kind of like listening to Garrison Keillor on Prairie Home Companion, as it seems to wander around, but is always going somewhere; of course with Miss Marple it is going to find evil. One of the best Miss Marple stories for sure!! The reader does a good job and does a number of different voices and regional accents of the UK, most of which are good but some are not so great. Overall, the Audible book is certainly worth listening to, I recommend it.

Love it!

One of my favorite books. Great production and narrator. I’ve heard her work on other books and always enjoy her.

Excellent performance of a great Christie.

Excellent performance by Emilia Fox. Classic Christie murder mystery. I very much enjoyed listening. One of her better stories, I think.

well done, miss Marple!

enjoyed it all. here's hoping as I edge closer to being an old lady in fluffy pink wool that my brain is as sharp as Miss Marple's!

Nemesis

I think it's one of the best Miss Marple stories yet. I enjoyed the narrator very much.

A little loud

Loved story, good performance if somewhat problematic while wearing earbuds. Volume very changable. Good for AChristie fans

Miss Marple is an unlikely but powerful nemesis

This is a sequel of sorts to A Carabean Mystery. Miss Marple is brilliant in her typical soft-spoken, elderly appearance. I would have loved to hear Joan Hickson read her parts but was very pleased with Emilia Fox.

Emilia Fox is Miss Marple Personified

The story is more contrived and convoluted than usual — but kept my interest throughout. Reading the mystery written before it — A Caribbean Mystery — will help you enjoy and understand this once. Many allusions to that mystery and those involved are made in this one.

This late novel has an elegiac tone in places — quite different from the usual gossip in the village tone we know and love.

I have often read criticisms of Emilia Fox’s reading and I have found fault with her American accent. But she captures Miss Marple’s gentle voice and the hard Intelligence and perception below it just perfectly.
