This review is from: At Bertram's Hotel (Audio CD)
This has proven to be the most difficult Miss Marple book to obtain on audiobook and I can't understand why. There isn't a high body count or a lot of exciting action sequences--it is after all a Miss Marple Mystery--but the story is engaging and the characters interesting. Miss Marple goes on holiday to Bertram's Hotel (where she'd stayed as a child) and takes a nostalgic trip down memory lane only to find out that things aren't exactly what they seem.

The narrator does a good job capturing Miss Marple's personality. You won't find the usual characters in this book, and none of it happens in the village of St. Mary Meade--but the characters presented are well drawn. Miss Marple is reinvigorated when compared to The Mirror Crack'd--but her lethargy in that book could be more attributed to a temporary depression rather than any real change in her vitality.

Although I wouldn't consider it the best of the Miss Marple series, it's a definite must read for all Miss Marple fans.
