Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
#10 in series (I have been committed to this series since  2016.)
Comparison to others in series: Not as good About the same Better A good show. I do say.
The narrator was Stephanie Cole. This was a change of narrator for the series. I liked her. I can't figure out where I've heard her before.

elenamarmiroli's review against another edition

medium-paced

3.25

Questa lettura inizialmente è abbastanza mediocre, e sarebbe perciò stata sulle 2,25/2,5 stelle.
Quella che l'ha salvata è stato il finale, che come tipico dell'autrice riesce a legare i vari avvenimenti della storia e la rende più coesa nella sua integrità.

The setting is really well done, the hotel really comes alive while reading, but the plot is kind of meh. I have that problem with a lot of Christie's stories, they just don't grip me as much as I'd like them to. Still, I think Miss Marple is an amazing character and I will definitely read more of these novels in the future.
