About this listen

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation starring June Whitfield as the sharp-witted spinster sleuth. Dolly Bantry, mistress of Gossington Hall, is enjoying a pleasant doze when suddenly her dreams take a strange turn. The housemaid Mary is telling her that there is a body in the library. As she wakes up, it turns out to be true.... But who is the strange young blonde sprawled on the library floor? Enter St Mary Mead's resident sleuth, Miss Mary Marple.

Superb dramatisation of this Agatha Christie classic. Thoroughly enjoyable in every aspect. Cast are tremendous. Miss Marple, as ever, outwits the authorities and solves the crime! Delightfully twee! Highly recommended.

I always enjoyed these dramas when they were originally on radio 4. Great cast with actors of a different generation. Nothing like it nowadays. Lovely escapism and wonderful story.

Excellent

You cannot go wrong with Dame June Whitfield as Miss Marple. A strong radio presence and really makes these stories very enjoyable. Perfect!

Enjoyable!

Love the performance of such a short dramatisation. A drama in 2 parts you are left time to pause to figure things out.

Entertaining

Love the performance and the story! The abridged audio books are a breathe of fresh air from the really long ones every now and again.

One of my favs!

I was so disappointed to discover that after 3 minutes this stopped playing, and I can’t seem to find how to get my credit back 😭
