5.0 out of 5 stars Miss Marple and mystery, March 29, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: At Bertram's Hotel (Miss Marple Mysteries) (Paperback)
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?

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but not one of my Marple favorites., December 5, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: At Bertram's Hotel (Miss Marple Mysteries) (Paperback)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars More Like A Movie, September 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: At Bertram's Hotel (Mass Market Paperback)
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.
