    I guess I'm a purist. I prefer the mysteries that take place across the pond in England. This reminded me of the Phillip Marlowe and other radio mysteries of the 40's and 50's. Worth a listen though.

    Now that Agatha Christie's works are entering the public domain, writers are allowed to incorporate the characters into new stories. This isn't an imitation of Christie. It's a What If game. What if dear Miss Marple went to New York? Would she still triumph in this very alien environment? Of course! I enjoyed it!

    I feel certain that if I say what I ACTUALLY feel about this story and the portrayal of the characters, someone will express judgement that it’s free, and if I don’t like it I shouldn’t listen.
    Well first of all, just because it’s free doesn’t mean people shouldn’t express honest opinions and give honest feedback.
    Secondly I really love Agatha Christie and Miss Marple, and I really WANTED this to be good.
    But the only thing worse than the story itself, is the readers absolutely horrific American accents😖

Be so fucking forreal. The estate has the right to choose to release new licensed stories. If you don’t like them, don’t read them. Once you acknowledge Christie was a human and was in no way perfect herself, life will be a lot easier to swallow, simple child.

    This is dreadful - the character of Miss Marple is reduced to a that of an inconsistent and rather dim woman. The dialogue has nothing to do with the originals. Even the plot has little to do with the complexities of a Christie novel. It’s just stealing names in order to get an audience for a pretty poor story
