No one can do characterizations like Dame Christie, and she can even do these remarkably well within the confines of a short story. This little book of Miss Marple short stories is a wonderful cap to the entire Miss Marple series. I had read some of them individually, but there were some I had not read before, and I enjoyed them all. My own particular favourite though was "The Case of the Perfect Maid" (an oxymoron if there ever was one). It is remarkable how Ms. Christie can typecast each of her wonderful characters so quickly, and provide us with tricky and intricate mysteries at the same time.

I got my Kindle for Christmas, but the first thing I downloaded had to be special. I thought about the books that got me hooked on reading mysteries as a young person, and I knew that something from Agatha Christie was IT! I was so pleased to find this 3-book collection. It is so reasonably priced, and Miss Marple is just wonderful! If anyone wants books that are so well-written, try these. The Kindle is such a wonderful gadget! Why hasn't it been around years before? My bookshelves wouldn't be so packed!!

I'm sure the 7 short stories by Agatha Christie are excellent as usual. The problem is that if you are looking for the Audio Edition read by JOAN HICKSON, this is NOT read by her. Amazon is listing that she reads it, but this information is incorrect. If you look carefully at the picture provided it shows that it is read by Geraldine McEwan. This may be a fine rendition, but it is not THE Miss Marple as performed by Joan Hickson in audio and TV performances.

Has anyone seen Miss Marple on the Tele? i love it its on channel 9 masterpiece Mystery i loved the show!
