Just want to thank you for uploading this audiobook. I’ve had it on loop all night for about 6 weeks! I never get all the way through, because it’s so perfect to sleep with. 😂😂😂 Thank you for not putting noisy rap music in the middle which wakes me up with so many other channels - I then have to put on my glasses and search for another story. 😂😂😂 But this Agatha Christie is the perfect bedfellow, and is so much more healthy than sleeping tablets. 😂😂😂 I’m a happy subscriber. ❤
So glad someone shared this with me! I tried to listen to a few different versions of this book. The other readers drove me bonkers with their voices but Rosemary Leach's reading was absolutely lovely.
One of my absolute favourite Agatha Christies. I’ve read or listened to it dozens, maybe even hundreds, of times and never get tired ot it. Great reading by Rosemary Leach. Highly recommend. Thankyou so much for uploading it. 🙂🙂🙂
**I'm agree with you. It's really having a good time to hear her reading like that. It's just amazing! She's got a wonderful skill interpretising every character and lines making you feel it as if you were watching the TV shows, besides they are not exactly as books but you can also enjoy them... * 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yes, she’s one of my favourite readers too. Yesterday I clicked on an Agatha Christie and was so disappointed to hear it read in an American accent, which doesn’t sound right to me! 😊
Our writer's group Chalkscirbblers, on meetup, have an Agatha Christie discussion on this book a few weeks. i honestly wouldn't have the time to read it but feel prepared now!!!! Amazing group do join
Very well read i.e. many variations of intonation / accent / rhythm etc. There is a reading here of the same book by Joan Hickson who -- in my opinion -- offers a monotonous & unsympathetic interpretation. I d/k who this reader is but she truly enlivens what in e.g. Hickson's wooden version remains a dull text.
“I want now to make a very careful sauce.”😂 3:10:25 If miss blacklock had moved to Australia, Canada, USA, Sri Lanka, India, anywhere else but England, and alone, she wouldn’t have had any problems. Set up an anonymous donor bank account for Dora Bunner with a small monthly supplement to her income (set up in a way so Dora wouldn’t be curious or investigate) - and all would have been fine.
Good story, well narrated. Spoiler ahead, but I couldn't understand why no one saw a second figure illuminated when Rudi supposedly spun around - unless he dropped the torch before he turned round. Either way, an incredibly risky strategy on the part of the murderer, which made it all a bit too far fetched for me. That and the implausibility of not just one, but three, potential beneficiaries all arriving as actors under pseudonyms. I would have thought the two children would have been far more likely to have turned up as themselves, to plead their case. Also, why was nothing dusted for prints, e.g. bolts on door, aspirin bottle etc.? The story was written in 1950 so it would have been police practice then. Still... an enjoyable tale!
I like the narrator, but I can't listen to her. She has a tendency to start out loud and clear and even sharp, and then she mumbles in the middle and swallows the end. Of both sentences and paragraphs. Makes it hard for people like me, who are hard of hearing. I have to have the volume so loud that I can hear the mumbling, which makes the sharp, loud start of sentences painfully shrill! And she makes Miss Marple so soft-spoken that I can barely hear her, even on full volume.
As much as I love this book, I have to agree with you. It ends about an hour after we find out whodunnit 😁 I love Miss Marple’s explanation of how it all happened but I’m so familiar with the book now I don’t really pay much attention to the end.

Lol, I'm the same, only get about an hour in and zzzzzz.
Love narration of Rosemary Leach. Thanks.

Another great story. Thank you for sharing this book.
Amazing narrator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Superb narration...there are a lot of drama Queens in this story! 😂
Brilliant, perfect narration and delivery.
Rosemary Leach is one of the few truly excellent narrators on RUclips

Look for 'Sleeping Murder' red by R.L.
She also reads' A Murder is Announced'
@@rbrown6476My book friends have branded me as an Americanist.
I had to concede to struggling with our cousins accents. In current times.
This is marvelous! Thank you so much!
Rosemarie, brilliant reading

The narrator is spectacular 👌

Love Rosemary Leaches narration! Thanks for this!
Hugh Fraser is the only narrator who truly understands the essence of Agatha Christie. He nails it every time! It’s his wonderful voice! Wow!

😂 And we wouldn’t have this wonderful story 🎊
Except then she would have been even more lonely. And probably still have run into Rudi, knowing her luck.
I wonder if the narrator is related to "Archibald Leach," better known as "Cary Grant?"

You are right

Ah yes, I'll begin with the longest Ms Maple story, that certainly makes sense.

I find the ending of this book exceedingly and unnecessarily long.

Miss Marple read The Malthese Falcon then.

Better when Joan Hickson reads it!
It's even better when Frank Bruno reads it.
Rosemary Leach by far the best. 4:28:04
Absolutely not.
Joan Hickson sounds too highbrow for my taste.
Joan Hickson is lovely but she slurs her words too much. Often hard to hear.
Wonderful! Thank you!!!
