Still, this was a perfectly acceptable installment in the Miss Marple series. At Bertrams Hotel (by Agatha Christie), read by Rosemary Leach (unabridged). I’m really just not as huge of a fan of Christie’s later works, as they so often seem to lack the zing of her earlier stories. Of course, Miss Marple frequently just so happens to be at the right place at the right time, and hears some critical conversations and makes some critical deductions.Īt Bertram’s Hotel was a solid read, but, as with most of Miss Marple’s books, not really one that struck me as amazing. While we start and end with Miss Marple, much of the middle bit follows Chief Inspector Davy, who meanders around collecting bits and pieces of information. The real mystery is more about a criminal ring that has been pulling have fantastic heists all around the countryside. This mystery is a bit odd because the murder is towards the end of the story and is, in many ways, rather anticlimactic. Everything about Bertram’s is really quite perfect, and Miss Marple is delighted to see how little it has changed since she was there as a girl. A quiet, respectable hotel that, somehow, time has touched very lightly. This time, Miss Marple has gone to London to stay at Bertram’s. In this Miss Marple mystery, she is once again on a nephew-Raymond sponsored holiday. The Aroma of Books //Rants//Raves//Reviews// One of the last Miss Marple novels, At Bertrams Hotel, written and set in the 1960s, depicts the 'timeless' and old-world atmosphere of the titular London hotel as a front for a criminal conspiracy, and ends with Miss Marple deciding that one must accept that the world has changed and not try to live in the past.
