YES! Please do the series! I'd love to listen to you read and then comment on Agatha Christie. Agree with you about Emily too. I was focused on how annoying she was too. I really do love your work!
Very nicely done! I love this story, which really highlights the shrewdness of Miss Marple. We have “stick candy” in the U.S., but I’ve never heard of having any names running through it. We also have “rock candy,” which is shaped more like crystals. Thank you for such a lovely break today ☺️
I really like the way you read dialogue, even when the speaker is a woman. Do you know the short story, 'The Nine Mile Walk' by Harry Kemelman? It's a nice, intriguing little mystery, and it's almost all a dialogue between two men. I don't believe anyone has recorded it yet, and your voice would be perfect for the back and forth as the story is teased out.
@@classicdetective That would be wonderful! I do hope it's available; it was written in the 1940s. I read it as a teenager, and I never forgot the creeping uneasiness as the conversation goes on, as more and more sinister possibilities start intruding upon the imagination.
I appreciate and enjoy the writers from years ago. They gave enough detail to put a mental picture of the person or space into your head and avoided filling pages with meaningless details. I like the plot and the psychology of the criminal much more. Any suggestions from the commenters on modern-day writers who fit the bill?
Ah, poor Inspector Slack! How Miss Marple vexes him! My main entertainment in this story is Miss Marple's innate suspicion of "paragons" and the sticky candy. At the point in life I got that immediately I was approaching Miss Marple's age. I should be so lucky as to stay as sharp as Marple
I know of two similar candies to that one, the images or the words in it is similar to a candy maker I watch out of australia but they cut the pieces shorter instead of leaving them in a longer cane. Then, when I was a kid (early 2000’s) here in Ontario, Canada we have a chain bulk food store called Bulk Barn and they used to have tubs of straight cane shaped candy in a bunch of flavours and it was like 5 for $1 or something but they just had coloured swirls, no fancy sugarwork. I loved that candy though! This just reminded me that I don’t think they sell it anymore. Rock candy here is like big sugar crystals that have been grown on a wooden stick. I personally pictured a big round peppermint while the story was being read.
Not life savers. And candy canes are, of course, cane-shaped and are almost always flavored with peppermint. We have stick candy, which goes by other names.
Just saying plenty of other authors, Rosemary Herbert, Ian Rankin, Mary Fortune, John Dickson Carr, Otto Penzler, Dorothy Sayers, Arthur Morrison, Stuart McBride etc..
Rock candy, or the making of it, is a BIG THING on tiktok and RUclips (do a search!). Fascinating stuff, how they get the words and figures into it. And it still looks delicious.
Really love this story! Adore everything about Agatha Christie and your amusing narration and commentary makes her extra special. Thank you!
Thanks, Marti

I am delighted how everyone is talking about this. apparently it’s candy cane but peppermint and it has names closing through it

I could do that. Would need to check copyright issues.

@@Wanda711I will have to look for this story - it sounds like my favourite kind!
Lovely, thank you 😊
Thank you Tony!
My pleasure!
Thank you! I enjoyed this story. I think it's called a candy stick in my part of Canada.
Loved this, thank you!
You're so welcome!

Ha ha. I need to find a picture of Blackpool Rock
Oh, I LOVED Bulk Barn when I was at university in Toronto back then! Happy memories! 🙂
Very pleasant and so well told !

English Rock = US Candy Cane
What did the hosts expect? TOW’s reputation precedes her. Let this be a lesson to anyone considering hosting the tent a royals.
The piano music in the background is beautiful. Who is it?
It's The Black Cat by Aaron Kenny
This reader is so much better than that Joan Hickson woman with her loose-fitting dentures
You are very kind
Too good to be true 👍🏽
Very clever, miss marble.
Thanks
Very much enjoyed 🤗✨🌛🦉🎶
Glad you enjoyed it
We used to call it "rock candy" here in L.A., back in the 50's and 60's. Not very popular now, never let my kids eat it.
I enjoyed the story but, looked up ‘back switch’ under British slang and found no answer, does anyone know?
Sugar dummies+aniseed rock,now i want some
Think of your teeth!
😂😂 NO Bird would want that nest. 😅😅
By the way, very interesting comment at the end, about misdirecting the attention of the audience.
thank you 🙏
Shortened story 👍
Miss emily reminds me of an elderly relative of mine 😜😜😜
Complete
What the world has Gladie done now? Gladie might start looking for a rich man who could marry her and reach high society! 😅
You never know.
Hold on. Am I balmy, or wasnt this on last week??🥴
Yes! One part of an Agatha Christie compilation of 5 stories that was posted about a week ago.
@@MaggieatPlay Oh! Thank you! I really got freaked out. 😄
@@lunablue745 I was confused as well at first. Then, I checked the channel and found the compilation of stories. Then, I was okay.
@@MaggieatPlay See! That is what a smart person does! Me? I sit and question the validity of deja vu!😆
@@lunablue745 Hahahaha!
Thank you. Black screen would be very useful
What is black screen ?
@BlackStump172 rather then having a picture you have a black screen.
Who is girl in the photo?
It’s a drawing
Source please?
@@earth2sakaAI, don't you think?
Agatha Christie
We've all known neurotic people - sure have! Clever misdirection going on as you say.
Life Savers?
candy cane
Not life savers. And candy canes are, of course, cane-shaped and are almost always flavored with peppermint. We have stick candy, which goes by other names.
@@vickif.4645 Rock is also normally peppermint flavour.. and cane shaped (without the hook)
Had to Google it myself 😅. Hard sweet, minty flavour.
@@ainemoroney9965You must be young .

Hard candy

Please don't talk so fast
play it at half speed?
Too unbelievable. Didn't buy it.
It is fiction 😆
Too much Agatha 😭
I cannot imagine such a thing.
No such thing. 🙂
Just saying plenty of other authors, Rosemary Herbert, Ian Rankin, Mary Fortune, John Dickson Carr, Otto Penzler, Dorothy Sayers, Arthur Morrison, Stuart McBride etc..
Never Could Be Too Much !!❤
