The Murder at the Vicarage
- A Miss Marple Mystery
- Narrated by: Richard E. Grant
The pastoral home murder is Agatha Christie’s first mystery to feature beloved investigator, Miss Marple—when a corpse in a cleric’s study proves to the indomitable detective that there is no place, holy or otherwise, a refuge from murder.
Miss Marple encounters a fascinating murder mystery in the sleepy little village of St. Mary Mead, where under the seemingly peaceful facade of an English country village lies intrigue, sin, deception and death.
Colonel Protheroe, the local magistrate and overbearing landowner is the most hated man in the village. Everyone – including the vicar – wished they were dead. And very soon he was shot in the head in the priest’s office. Faced with countless suspects, only the puzzling Miss Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues that will lead to the unmasking of the killer.
This is a really fun story, but make sure you get the right version! Richard E. Grant reports very well. She never pauses or changes her tone when switching from character to character or back to the general narrator! So make sure you buy the version with Richard E. Grant narrating because he did a great job.
In my opinion, Richard E Grant’s performance is exceptional compared to hundreds of other audiobooks I have listened to on Audible. He accurately conveys the atmosphere, nuances of characters, and has an impressive ability to differentiate between different voices. I highly recommend his work to anyone.
The story was so captivating and intriguing that I would definitely choose to listen to it again. Not only was the plot brilliant and kept me guessing, but it was also cleverly woven with clues that I had overlooked. I particularly enjoyed piecing them together, and Agatha Christie’s talent for injecting humor into her books made it an even more enjoyable listen.
