Publisher's summary
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. . . .

In a remote house in the middle of Dartmoor, six shadowy figures huddle around a table for a seance. Tension rises as the spirits spell out a chilling message: "Captain Trevelyan...dead...murder." Is this black magic or simply a macabre joke? The only way to be certain is to locate Captain Trevelyan. Unfortunately, his home is six miles away and, with snowdrifts blocking the roads, someone will have to make the journey on foot....

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!

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.

Good story, good narration.
Consistently good author, one of my favorites. I guessed wrong "whodunit" but thankfully Miss Marple did not. Nicely narrated too.

Wonderful Performance
Nemesis is one of my favorite Agatha Christie stories - great storyline, compelling and well-rounded characters. Emilia Fox is a good narrator and she does a good job of bringing the story to life. The one downside is her limited repertoire of voices - some of her character voices for males and females are indistinguishable from each other. This limitation in no way detracts from the story in my opinion.

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.

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.
