Miss Marple macht Urlaub, und zwar in London in Bertrams Hotel. In dem Hotel war sie bereits vor etlichen Jahren in ihrer Jugend. Seit damals scheint sich nichts geändert zu haben, und das kommt Miss Marple doch etwas seltsam vor...

* Meine Meinung *
Ich bin ein großer Fan von Agatha Christies Büchern, und Miss Marple gehört sowieso zu meinen Lieblingsfiguren überhaupt! Doch von diesem Roman bin ich leider ein wenig enttäuscht, vermutlich, weil ich ganz andere Erwartungen an das Buch hatte. Es war interessant, aber nicht wirklich spannend. Und Miss Marple kommt kaum in der Geschichte vor, was besonders schade ist!
Das Ende des Krimis ist aber wie gewohnt noch mal überraschend und durchdacht, aber im Großen und Ganzen hat mich das Buch nicht wirklich überzeugen können - jedenfalls nicht im Vergleich zu anderen Büchern von Agatha Christie!2012133 s Anne4,260 70k

This is my second time At Bertram's Hotel and this time I decided to I listen to the BBC Radio dramatization. It was wonderful!



It had a full cast that included June Whitfield, Maurice Denham, Siân Phillips. Sometimes it feels you lose too much of the story with these things, but I think this one was pretty close to perfection. Even if you haven't already read this story, you will be able to entirely get the gist of the book.
Highly Recommended.

Bertram's Hotel is a bastion of never-changing respectable old English perfection.
Or is it?



Not everything is what it seems in this place and our fluffy Miss Marple must step in to help the police solve a missing persons case and a murder mystery.
Can she do it?
Of course she can.



Alright. On one hand, I really enjoyed the story because it's not one that I'd read or listened to before, so it had a shiny & new feeling to it. On the other, I found the ending to be less satisfying than I'd hoped resolution-wise.
If you're an obsessive completionist fan of Christie, you'll want to read this. But for the average reader, I'm not really sure I'd be ready to push this one in your face.



Overall, I enjoyed listening to Jane unravel the threads and point the proper authorities in the right direction.

Recommended for fans of Agatha & Jane.

DRAMATISATION LISTENED TO (AGAIN) IN 2020
This is one of 5 dramatisations I listened to whilst decorating, and was again really enjoyable. I think this certainly stays at 4 stars.

DRAMATISATION LISTENED TO IN 2019
Firstly let's say it's a shame that this does not have a separate entry as it is not the audiobook of the novel, it is an abridged dramatisation that only roughly follows the novel, but it doesn't, so hey ho.
It is a great version, being a BBC Radio 4 dramatisation starring some excellent British actors and actresses, including the delightful June Whitfield as Miss Marple. Whist i cannot SEE anyone as else as Miss Marple than Joan Hickson, June Whitfield's acting and voice are so superb that she is at least temporarily to me Miss Marple.
Whilst this dramatisation does of course follow the book I read 18months previously, it is only 2 and a half hours long so is of necessity a shorter version than the novel. Does it loose anything , well a little, but the dramatisation was so good that it is still a 4 star novel/play.

READ AS MISS MARPLE CHALLENGE 2017
As with some of the other Miss Marple books, I see in my head, as I am reading, the Joan Hickson TV episode. In the case of Bertram's Hotel, for some reason, this was even more the case, almost the movie was playing as i read.
Anyway that aside, again it was another really enjoyable book, with Miss Marple excelling in her role of detecting from her armchair whilst knitting. I thought it was less light hearted than some of her earlier works, a little darker, which was no bad thing, just different.

Ok this challenge has been wonderfully enjoyable, and I still have 4 to go (I think). Then its the Poirot's woo hoo.det-agatha-christie detectives-challenge-mm-2017 zz-owned-books100 s Beverly890 347

I think I don't Miss Marple's stories in which she has a tiny role. I a full on Miss Marple with lots of her wise notions and summing up of characters. This book finds her about 3 chapters in staying at a famous and absurdly old-fashioned, supremely comfortable hotel in London. Bertram's Hotel is a step back in time to when Miss Marple was a girl, which is a good thing right? Wrong, there is something dreadfully amiss in this perfect setting and the police with an assist of a little, old lady will find out what it is.103 s Ahmad Sharabiani9,564 149

At Bertram's Hotel (Miss Marple #11), Agatha Christie

At Bertram's Hotel is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club on 15 November 1965.

It features the detective Miss Marple. Miss Marple takes a two-week vacation in London, at Bertram's Hotel, where she stayed in her youth. The hotel has a personality of its own, and a niche clientele of important church people, older women who lived through the Edwardian age, and girls looking for a safe place to stay in London.

Miss Marple enjoys her trips around London, and learns that she cannot go back, life moves forward. She witnesses the complex lives of an estranged mother and daughter and as always works with the police to solve crimes.

One of the most boring Agatha Christie novels. Though advertised as Miss Marple novel, she is no more than a decorative piece in the plot. The novel is actually an ode to Christie's fascination with old world British charm. Weak plot which is mostly a drag will compel you to put down the novel and spend your time productively by reading any other book. Avoid this novel unless you are a die hard Christie fan and have to read all her worksowned-book52 s Issa Deerbany374 552

I think I d the idea of this book more than I actually enjoyed it. The feeling that there is something dark and thoroughly sinister behind the pleasant perfection of Bertram's Hotel and its highly trained staff maintained a heightened sense of suspense and kept the reader itching to find out what happened next.

Unfortunately, you'll reach a point when you find out the mystery is not as interesting or anywhere near as sinister as you thought it might be. There is nothing more disappointing to find out that the hints of a criminal organization might have been true to a certain extent, but the original goal of the crimes is revealed to be "just for fun." That atmosphere of danger and "all is not as they seem" that Christie so successfully introduced deflates all at once.

Even more disappointing is the fact that the real criminal is allowed to escape (although it is hinted that there will be further and hopefully successful attempts to bring them in), and Miss Marple is only a secondary character, popping in occasionally to provide the thoroughly uninteresting detective with some advice.

Still a decent read on the overall scale, however, which is why this received three stars and not lower. Perhaps my expectations were just too high.mystery50 s Susan2,812 585

Miss Marple has the best nephew in the world – Raymond West – who is constantly thinking up little treats for his Aunt Jane. In this novel though, it is his wife, Joan, who suggests that she needs a little trip and Miss Marple says she would to go to Bertram’s Hotel. She stayed there as a girl and is somewhat surprised at how little it has changed.

Bertram’s is a haven for the well to do in London; visited by retired army officers, clergymen, the aristocracy and wealthy Americans. Muffins are served for tea, the fires are always raging and elderly ladies find the chairs easy to rise from. It seems too good to be true and soon Miss Marple is re-visiting old haunts and hunting down her favourite linen and china. Not for her the delights of the theatre, galleries or museums, we learn that she loves shopping – a weakness that makes me somehow her even more…

Of course, no visit for Miss Marple can ever be uneventful. This novel includes a missing clergyman, a notorious racing driver, a wealthy, somewhat notorious beauty, her daughter and a spate of audacious robberies in London. I enjoyed the investigation by Chief-Inspector Davy (known to all as ‘Father’) and the wonderfully vague, and forgetful, Canon Pennyfather. I also enjoyed the setting of Bertram’s itself, so evocative of a certain type of hotel in London, where tourists can make believe they are comfortably ensconced in the past. A very enjoyable mystery indeed.

This is one of my biggest disappointments by Agatha Christie and the least enjoyable of the Miss Marple series so far. I had an earlier disappointment in the Marple series as well, but this is far worse. The novel was neither a proper thriller nor a customary whodunit. Rather, a mixture of both. It started more in line with a thriller and then ended up as a whodunit!

I'm surprised that this novel was categorized under the Miss Marple series, for her role was absolutely insignificant here. Except for a few pops in here and there, Miss Marple makes no noteworthy contribution to the story.

The plot was one of the weakest by Christie and one which didn't make much sense to me. I never properly got into the story. Sometimes her stories have that kind of effect in the middle, but they pick things up quite nicely towards the end where everything is neatly explained. However At Bertram's Hotel, the story didn't make any sense to me even at the end. Honestly, except for a few scattered events (some of them were quite interesting), I don't know what on earth I read.

I truly wish I didn't read this, for I hate writing this kind of negative tirades. But since the deed is done and I've had my share of disappointment, what is left to do is to banish it altogether from my mind and move to the next as quickly as possible.classical-mystery-detective-fiction39 s JamesAuthor 20 books4,027

While At Bertram's Hotel, a Miss Marple mystery written by Agatha Christie, was a decent read, it is probably my least favorite. All the interesting investigation approaches are present, but there was no murder or major inciting incident. Marple wasn't prominent either until the end. When it came together, the story was complex and finished with a nice splash, yet the ride there was a bit dull. I remember watching this years ago on a British network, and it was fairly good. I believe I'm getting more discerning these days... still enjoyed the various strange hotel guests, the parent/child pairings, and the attempted murder scenarios. Mostly, it felt 25% of the book was unnecessary and it was missing 25% of a larger story to make it pop. Must read them all tho, right?1-fiction 3-multi-book-series37 s Luffy (Oda's Version)757 1,009

I enjoyed this particular story very much. Not the most imaginative beginning to a review but that's the first thing I wanted to say! Gone here, are the orderly presentations of suspects. Mrs Agatha Christie here departs from her usual structure-although the style is as sterling as ever- and I can't for the life of me imagine who was she copying with such a fearless endeavor.

While reading the bits where Miss Marple appears, I was regretting that she doesn't exist-she is a relic as much as the Hotel Bertram itself was. Pardon the irrelevancy, but I'd be interested in reading even a fan fiction of her, regardless of genre or quality! Miss Marple is witness to 2 or 3 crucial occurrences that propel Inspector Davy (Father) to fulfill the completion of bringing a criminal gang to justice, to stop an entire organisation in its tracks. But Miss Marple herself never takes center stage, she is a glorified witness, who understands what she sees. Very different beast, this book is.

I old fashioned detective stories most when the motive for the murder is money. Thankfully here this is the case. But the murderer needs the money for her lover. This was, I think, an unnecessary addition. It makes the dated(in a good way) scenery more theatrical, and that is not so good. Take Lady Sedgwick, one of the main suspects, she doesn't to me, come across as a believable person. The way she exits the story is laughable and not convincing, plus it's oh so melodramatic. I felt nothing for her. I couldn't view her as a believable adventuress, mother, or mastermind. But maybe that's just me. I kept my focus throughout this book. No part of it was tedious because you felt that bits of the puzzle would ultimately come together. And the revelations, interceded between blurbs of Lady Sedgewick, kept coming till the very end.historical-mystery32 s Constantine958 259

Rating: ?? ½
Genre: Classic + Mystery

This is my least favorite Miss Marple story. It is the eleventh book in the series and by far the worst. 30% in the book, and nothing happens. I didn’t find any of the characters to have the charm of the previous novels by the author. Miss Marple, who is over 100 years old, had a very small part. The plot itself, or rather, the lack of it, was the major flaw of the book.

It is a big shame that this mystery novel had so many drawbacks because, in my opinion, the setting of the story (Bertram’s Hotel) must be one of the most interesting aspects of it. I loved the environment, and the author’s description made the location more vivid. I thought that with Miss Marple added to the story, nothing would go wrong. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all.

I am very disappointed with this book, so I cannot give it a positive rating. I’m not sure how the movie and TV adaptations will be, but I hope they have improved on all the shortcomings of this book. x-2-half-star z2023-0633 s Brina1,037 4

Buddy read with my friend Cynda.

Miss Marple is offered a two week respite at London’s Bertram Hotel from her nephew and niece. While relaxing and reminiscing, murder finds her yet again, and, of course, she saves the day. Charming.
