À propos de cet audio
TWO BESTSELLING MYSTERIES IN ONE GREAT PACKAGE!
From the Queen of Mystery, The Man in the Brown Suit, in which a young woman makes a dangerous decision to investigate a shocking “accidental” death she witnesses at a London tube station, and in 4:50 From Paddington, a woman in one train witnesses a murder occurring in another passing one…and only Miss Marple believes her story.
THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT
Pretty, young Anne came to London looking for adventure. In fact, adventure comes looking for her—and finds her immediately at Hyde Park Corner tube station. Anne is present on the platform when a thin man, reeking of mothballs, loses his balance and is electrocuted on the rails.
The Scotland Yard verdict is accidental death. But Anne is not satisfied. After all, who was the man in the brown suit who examined the body? And why did he race off, leaving a cryptic message behind: "17-122 Kilmorden Castle"?
Twisty, clever, and intriguing, The Man in the Brown Suit showcases Agatha Christie once again at her very best.
Performed by Emilia Fox
4:50 From Paddington
For an instant the two trains ran side by side. In that frozen moment, Elspeth McGillicuddy stared helplessly out of her carriage window as a man tightened his grip around a woman's throat. The body crumpled. Then the other train drew away. But who, apart from Mrs. McGillicuddy's friend Jane Marple, would take her story seriously? After all, there are no other witnesses, no suspects, and no case—for there is no corpse, and no one is missing.
Miss Marple asks her highly efficient and intelligent young friend Lucy Eyelesbarrow to infiltrate the Crackenthorpe family, who seem to be at the heart of the mystery, and help unmask a murderer.

Good but.....
I really enjoyed The Man in the Brown Suit which is a longtime favourite.
I found 4:50 difficult to follow because although I have read the book many times, the narrator being someone who I am so used to seeing actually playing Miss Markle made it confusing to follow dialogue.
I will listen to Brown Suit again but sadly, I will not purchase another of the Miss Marple’s narrated by Joan Hicks.

Awesome!!!
I loved the stories!!!! For any fan of Agatha Christie’s this one is a must!! The narrator on 4:50 From Paddington wasn’t the greatest but other than that it was great!!!

Forgotten how rich the Agatha Christie books are
It has been awhile since I had reread an Agatha Christie novel and had many film versions in my memory instead. The films although interesting in their own right cannot replicate the intricate writing of the original.
The narrator of The Man in the Brown Suit made it easy to listen to this intricate story. The narrator of the 4:50 From Paddington made it a bit more challenging because it is a voice associated with Jane Marple from the films. It is not a strong voice. Initially it distracted me, however as I became immersed in the story itself it all dissolved into one delightful listen. Agatha is truly a remarkable writer of this genre and it is difficult to find her equal after all these years.
This was a great value for my credit and I recommend it.

Agatha Christie, Queen of Mystery
I loved hearing Joan Hix’s narration. So easy and clear to listen to. Good choice for this story and hopefully she did more. She was the perfect Miss Marple.

Exactly as anticipated
Solid performance of a classic set of Agatha Christie's iconic mysteries. Emilia Fox enlivens The Man in the Brown Suit admirably (though the story is not on my list of favorites) with her vocal performance, while Joan Hickson is the definitive Miss Marple narrating 4:50 from Paddington, the definitive cozy mystery. Hickson reads the story more than performs it, but her association with the Miss Marple role is so strong this is hardly the detriment it would be for another narrator.
Recording volume is a bit low, and as is common with older recordings transferred to Audible, the first syllable of some passages is cut off.

Why has the story been stolen from me?
I am disgusted by the fact that I can no longer access this story. Please unfreeze whatever it is that you have frozen. I have paid for this and i want permanent access to it..

NOT Joan Hickson
Joan Hickson is listed as the narrator for the second novel, which is the whole reason I chose this version. Very disappointed that both novels are narrated by Emilia Fox, whose performance is adequate but definitely not the perfection I was anticipating.
