A grand old London hotelA series of alarming coincidencesDanger lurking down every corridor
MEDIA REVIEWS
Impeccable service. Luxurious rooms. Eccentric guests. There are worse places for Canon Pennyfather to find himself stranded than Bertram's Hotel.
But when he gets his dates in a muddle and attempts to travel to Lucerne a day too late,he unwittingly sets off a violent chain of events.
And Miss Marple is convinced there is more going on than meets the eye.
Never underestimate Miss Marple

Agatha Christie
The reigning queen of crime,Agatha Christie's life took her from her home in the Devon countryside to Cairo,Australia and,of course,a journey on the Orient Express. She created two of the most famous detectives in literature,the moustached Belgian super-sleuth Hercule Poirot and the deceptively genteel village investigator Miss Marple,as well as creating the longest running stage playThe Mousetrap.
