About this listen
A new investigation from Dr Mark Aldridge, exploring a lifetime of Agatha Christie’s Miss Jane Marple.
In Agatha Christie’s Marple: Expert on Wickedness,‘Agathologist’ Dr Mark Aldridge looks at nearly a century of St Mary Mead’s most famous resident and uses his own detective skills to uncover new information about Miss Jane Marple’s appearances on page, stage, screen and beyond.
Drawing on a range of material, some of which is newly discovered and previously unpublished, this book explores everything about Miss Marple, from her origins in a series of short stories penned by Christie, to the recent bestselling HarperCollins collection Marple: Twelve New Stories.
This accessible, entertaining and illustrated guide to the world of Miss Marple pieces together the evidence in order to tell you everything you need to know about the world’s favourite female detective.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Jane Marple
Have been looking forward to this since it was announced a year ago - and have been frustrated by the delays in publication dates. But it is well worth the wait!
Author clearly knows his stuff, has spoken to actors concerned and spins a great yarn.
Reading is ok, marred by a few off pronunciations.

Breathy and oddly punctuated narration
So wanted to enjoy this but although I am sure the research is excellent the narration appalling and is oddly like AI reading it with the emphasis in all the wrong places (or mainly not at all) and lots of heavy breathing and an oddly soft narration inappropriate for a factual book (albeit a fictional topic). I did listen tp a preview but that was just the preface/introduction being read out so assumed it would improve once we got to actual text - it didn't!!! returning. Have 2 stars to story just because couldn't actually listen to it.
