Book Description

Miss Marple Mysteries September 17, 2007
Miss Jane Marple has checked into Bertram's Hotel in London for a much-needed vacation. The last thing she expects is that this elegant establishment, known for its service and old-world charm, could be embroiled in scandal. But after a series of strange events—including the disappearance of a fellow guest, the arrival of a notorious celebrity bad boy, and finally, a shocking murder—she finds herself drawn into a multifaceted mystery.


The hotel is full of suspects who have potential motives—and convenient alibis. While the local inspector is preoccupied with a series of recent robberies, only Miss Marple, with her shrewd observations and keen understanding of human nature, can sort out the puzzling sequence of events and zero in on the killer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but not one of my Marple favorites., December 5, 2000
By A Customer
Miss Marple goes on vacation to stay at Bertram's Hotel. If you were thinking she was going to have some kind of adventure like she did in _A Caribbean Mystery_ or _Nemesis_ while she was on vacation, think again. If you enjoy Miss Marple because she comes up with these wacky village parallels, you are going to be disappointed. There aren't many here. A large part of the detecting is done my Chief Inspector Davy. Miss Marple is merely a side character in this one -- she really isn't super involved except when Davy talks to her during his investigations. She is more a "witness" than a sleuth.

Granted, by this point she is rather old, so at least Christie keeps her doing things within her capabilities!

The description of the hotel are great, and the premise of the plot had some nice possibilities but I don't think this was as well mapped out as some of the other Agatha Christie mysteries. If you are a long time reader, you are going to guess whodunit fairly quickly.

Overall, it's ok, but not one of the best. The Miss Marple short stories (ex: Thirteen Problems) are better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miss Marple and mystery, March 29, 2000
By A Customer
One of the best of Agatha Christie's later mysteries. Miss Marple has found the perfect spot to stay for her vacation. Nothing ever seems to change at Bertram's Hotel, everything is just as it was before the war. But is this all this charming gentility merely a facade for something far more dangerous?

4.0 out of 5 stars More Like A Movie, September 6, 1999
By A Customer
This novel by the ever wonderful Agatha Christie is very exact and detailed. It had a twisted plot and suspicious characters. But! It was also from several people's point of view. The scene kept changing so you had to say "Okay, who is seeing this and what are they most likely to think". In other titles by Christie the story is from one point of view. The entire story is based around one person's story and mode of thinking. That is why I give Bertram's four and not five stars.
