About this listen

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation starring June Whitfield as Miss Marple, the sharp-witted spinster sleuth.

In the sleepy little English country village of St Mary Mead, all is not as it seems. Under a seemingly peaceful exterior lurks intrigue, guilt, deception - and murder.

Colonel Protheroe, local magistrate and overbearing landowner, is the most detested man in the village. Everyone, even the vicar, wishes he were dead. And very soon he is - shot in the head in the vicar's own study.

A visiting artist confesses to the murder, but residents saw him elsewhere at the time the Colonel was shot. If he didn't do it, who did? Is he protecting the wife whom he loves? Faced with a surfeit of suspects, only the inscrutable Miss Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues. A trap set, and Miss Marple's theory is put to the test when the true killer is finally unmasked.

Brilliant adaptation, Miss Marple brought to life

The BBC narrated books and plays are always on point. With this one you'd be transported to St Mary Mead and follow Miss Marple in a world of total englishness. If a fan of Agatha Christie it's a great way to enjoy her books in a different format.

The best way to listen to a Christie story

I would rather sit and enjoy this book than anything written in this decade. I listen to these written words over and over, not even noticing the repetition. Love it.

Wish there were more like Mrs. Marple today

I spend a lot of time traveling and these stories often keep me company and makes the drive not so long and tedious. There is a whole line of Agatha Christie books that have been dramatized and they are very well done. Not just actors reading lines. These are professionally dramatized with background noises and all. Can't wait to get the rest of them. I will listen to them over and over.

Very Well Done!

Agatha Christie's book and televised shows are FANTASTIC and now the dramatizations of her book oh..so lovely. Truly they are as much joy to listen to as to watch as to read. The cast feel believable and authentic. I cant say enough about the wonderful world of Agatha Christie and now her books on Audible and many are dramatized.

What did you like best about this story?

Sometimes I don't have enough time to sit and listen to an audiobook over a few days - but these short dramatisations are a great way to engage with Agatha Christies flawless masterpieces.

What does June Whitfield bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

When she speaks she just is Jane Marple. Its perfect!

Any additional comments?

Murder at the Vicarage will always be my no 1 Miss Marple story and this was just as good as the novel.

Love These Dramatisations
