A full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of an Agatha Christie story. On a flight from Le Bourget to Croydon, on which Hercule Poirot is an apprehensive passenger, a woman is found dead. A doctor on board is inclined to put it down to a wasp-sting, but Poirot suspects that a poisoned dart is the real cause - and, perhaps rather too conveniently, a blow pipe is discovered stuffed down the back of his seat. Clearly the murder can only have been committed by one of the passengers or crew on the plane.

Excellent productions which really took me back to my childhood. It was fantastic to share these with my children who are now great fans too.
Confusingly though this is “More” which surely signifies that there is an original Marple Casebook? This however is nowhere to be found. Please Audible will you hurry up and get the rest on the site? Thanks

Marvellous Marple!
Another excellent bunch of stories/plays which again has sated my Mrs Christie addiction. Excellent dramatisations with Miss Marple played by June Whitefield and an excellent cast supporting her. Nemesis has always been my favourite Christie book and I was 'fair chuffed' to see it was included in this set which also included some lesser known works by the author. Overall and excellent listen.
To listen to this I sat on my favourite comfy chair, grabbed a hot chocolate, shut the rain out and didn't move till I had heard them all! A perfect day :)

I have no idea why this audiobook has 2 minute long adverts for this very product (as well as the Poirot audiobooks) between each story. I've tried to contact BBC studios directly about this - but there doesn't seem to be an easy channel for this feedback. Ruins what is an otherwise good set of dramatisations.

Fun retelling of classic who done its
A series of well done radio plays of a selection of Miss Marple mysteries. Well acted and engaging it was a fun way to experience the stories
The only issue was in one play a lot of the characters sounded similar so it was sometimes hard to tell who was who.
Overall though a very nice production.
