Acerca de esta escucha
In the cozy setting of an English country home, a simple dinner turns deadly when a young woman dies after eating a seemingly harmless dish. The culprit? A "herb of death" slipped into the meal—but was it an accident, or cold-blooded murder? As tensions rise and suspicions circle around the dining table, Miss Marple begins to unravel the tangled web of secrets and lies lurking beneath the surface. The Herb of Death draws readers into a chilling world where trust is poisoned and even the most innocent ingredients hide sinister intentions. Brace yourself for a mystery steeped in suspense, where the truth is as elusive—and dangerous—as a deadly herb.
PLEASE NOTE: when you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

In Death by Drowning, the serene village of St. Mary Mead is shaken when a young woman is found drowned under suspicious circumstances. Though the town whispers of an accidental fall, Miss Marple sees hints of something far more sinister. As she follows the trail, dark secrets emerge—family tensions, hidden grudges, and quiet despair lurking just beneath the surface. Miss Marple's keen eye notices what others overlook: a single overlooked clue that may unravel the mystery. Who would benefit from silencing this young woman, and why?

Some secrets can only be kept by the dead. When Dr. Rosen, a man with enemies in dark places, is found dead at the bottom of his staircase, everyone suspects foul play. Four people were close enough to know his fears—and perhaps, his fate. Each carries their own scars, secrets, and strange alibis. As suspicion falls on them, Miss Marple enters a maze of mistrust and hidden motives, where shadows of a past life reveal a chilling truth. The Four Suspects spins a deadly game of who, if anyone, can truly be trusted, and what treacheries linger in the hearts of even the innocent.

In The Idol House of Astarte, Agatha Christie spins an enchanting yet eerie tale, turning an innocent country outing into a sinister encounter with the supernatural. As the story unfolds at a seemingly harmless pagan shrine, an ancient statue of the goddess Astarte casts an unsettling presence, hinting at dark forces. When a man suddenly dies after a bizarre ritual, what begins as a harmless story told among friends morphs into an unsettling mystery. Is there truly a supernatural force at work, or is this yet another case where human nature outshines superstition in its cunning?

When Raymond West—a man whose thirst for adventure matches his talent for mystery—gets word of a forgotten treasure sunken off the coast, he finds himself lured to a sleepy Cornish village. But what seems like an idyllic trip quickly turns ominous as secrets bubble up from the ocean's depths, and danger lurks in every shadow. Rumors of smuggled gold ingots ignite whispers of treachery, and a web of lies begins to unravel. Lucky for Raymond, his astute friend Miss Marple is never far from the truth, even if she's leagues away from the scene.

In a sleepy English village, where scandal whispers under a polite facade, a single act of betrayal erupts into a mystery that entangles everyone. In Motive v. Opportunity, Miss Marple faces one of her most baffling dilemmas: when both motive and opportunity lie in plain sight, what reveals the real killer? Every character seems cloaked in a blend of innocence and cunning, each with their own murky secrets. But the question is not who had a reason or the chance—it's who had the audacity.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."
