I've read/listened to the Marple shorts multiple times, and I'm going to read them again. I think the Marple shorts are some of Christie's best (The Tape-Measure Murder is maybe my favorite Christie short story); there's not a bad one in them, and they stand up to rereads. Also, the narration on the audiobook by Juliet Stevenson is solid. Can't recommend enough.

Such fun! Well, if one is allowed to say such a thing about murder.
Still, it is a delight to go back to St. Mary Mead and discuss the suspicious deaths and mysteries with the grey- haired, lace covered villiage lady as she knits baby socks for the village fête. Clever girl.
