The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side

A Miss Marple Mystery

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Emilia Fox

In Agatha Christie’s classic mystery, The Mirror Crack’d from Side to Side, a fatal dose of poison meant for a glamorous movie star fells her ardent admirer instead—and Miss Marple is there to unmask a murderer.

One minute, silly Heather Babcock had been babbling on at her movie idol, the glamorous Marina Gregg. The next, Heather suffered a massive seizure, poisoned by a deadly cocktail.

It seems likely that the cocktail was intended for the beautiful actress. But while the police fumble to find clues, Miss Marple begins to ask her own questions, because as she knows—even the most peaceful village can hide dark secrets.

Excellent plot line and excellent narrator!

It’s hard to believe that Agatha Christie could be such a prolific writer of innovative and original murder mysteries! The narrator, has always, did an excellent job bringing life to each of the characters – – especially Miss Marple.

always good listen

no, it was good. It’s like all the Miss Marole are but
I think in hindsight, one or two of red herrings were not really viable

Excellent Agatha Christie

Emilia Fox is an excellent narrator, and she does a great job voicing the multiple characters in this charming British mystery.

The Mirror Cracked Review

A very good Jane Marple mystery. Emilia Fox is an excellent narrator of Agatha Christie’s novels.

Great story, annoying American accents

I love Agatha Christie and, normally, I love Emilia Fox’s narrations BUT her American accents really need work! It sounds like she’s never met a real American before! It wouldn’t have been so bad if most of the main characters in this book weren’t American but it got EXTREMELY annoying that every one of them said “ideer” instead of ”idea” and spoke really haltingly and slowly with abnormal inflections. Overall, though, another great book from the Queen of Mystery!
