    Joan Hickson was Agatha Christie's choice for Miss Maple according to a note the author penned to the actress in the 1940's after watching her onstage in 'Appointment With Death'. Queen Elizabeth II agreed, telling Ms. Hickson in 1987 "You play the part just as one envisages it" regarding her portrayal of Miss Marple

      She's unfailingly calm & strangely re-assuring - someone you feel you know & who is absolutely dependable. Qualities so hard to find these days. I absolutely love her!

    Miss Hickson mines beautifully every laugh in the text, and perhaps some that wouldn't have been noticed by most of the rest of us. Brava! (To tell the truth, I didn't used to like her as Miss Marple, I thought her too vinegary, but the knowing glances from those china blue eyes won me over.)

    I loved Joan Hickson as Miss Marple, but I dont know why but her voice has grated and annoyed me so much on this audio book I have had to stop listening. Its too much constantly with the 'Queens Speech' voice. I respect and love a beautiful English voice, but this is really hard work to keep listening too sadly. :( But thank you Joy for the upload. :)

      Joan Hicks played Miss Marple for a number of tv episodes back in the 1980s or 90s. She was absolutely wonderful. My favorite actress in the role. She could be the slightly scattered and gossipy old lady who could then give a single look and absolutely convince me to the bottom of my soul how shockingly intelligent she was.

    Very much obliged for uploading this though.

    Awful - read far too fast. The almost comedic inflection coupled with the speed of oration makes it often incomprehensible. Just dreadful.
