Lymstock is a town with more than its share of shameful secrets - a town where even a sudden outbreak of anonymous hate mail causes only a minor stir. But all that changes when one of the recipients, Mrs. Symmington, commits suicide. Her final note says "I can’t go on", but Miss Marple questions the coroner's verdict of suicide. Soon nobody is sure of anyone - as secrets stop being shameful and start becoming deadly.

Histoire
Miss Marple senses danger when she visits a friend living in Stoneygates, a rehabilitation center for delinquents. Her fears are confirmed when someone shoots at the administrator. Although he is not injured, a mysterious visitor is less fortunate - shot dead simultaneously in another part of the building. Pure coincidence? Miss Marple thinks not, and must use all her cunning to solve the riddle of the stranger's visit...and his murder.

Histoire
"Anyone who murdered Colonel Protheroe," declared the parson, brandishing a carving knife above a joint of roast beef, "would be doing the world at large a favor!" It was a careless remark for a man of the cloth. And one which was to come back and haunt the clergyman just a few hours later - when the Colonel is found shot dead in the clergyman's study. But as Miss Marple soon discovers, the whole village seems to have had a motive to kill Colonel Protheroe.

In utter disbelief, Miss Marple read the letter addressed to her from the recently deceased Mr. Rafiel...an acquaintance she had met briefly on her travels. He had left instructions for her to investigate a crime after his death. The only problem was, he had failed to tell her who was involved or where and when the crime had been committed. It was most intriguing. Soon she is faced with a new crime...the ultimate crime...murder. It seems someone is adamant that past evils remained buried....

Romance, adventure, and train travel can all be a little bit dangerous, especially in the hands of Agatha Christie. 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. 4:50 From Paddington: For an instant the two trains ran together, side by side. In that frozen moment, Elspeth witnessed a murder. Helplessly, she stared out of her carriage window as a man remorselessly tightened his grip around a woman's throat....

Description
The villagers of Chipping Cleghorn, including Jane Marple, are agog with curiosity over an advertisement in the local gazette that read: "A murder is announced and will take place on Friday October 29th, at Little Paddocks at 6:30 p.m." Unable to resist the mysterious invitation, a crowd begins to gather at Little Paddocks at the appointed time when, without warning, the lights go out....

Another classic Miss Marple story, but the narrators voice, as some characters, is unbearable to listen to. What a shame, I'll certainly be avoiding her narrations in the future.

Awful Narration
This story as such is not one of Christie's best efforts, but the terrible narration makes it almost unbearable to listen to. I hope they put out another audiobook with a different narrator. I have enjoyed Emilia Fox's other efforts, so I'm not sure why this one went so horribly wrong.

Wonderful Agatha Christie... horrific narration
If you could sum up A Murder Is Announced in three words, what would they be?
Classic entertaining Christie
Would you be willing to try another one of Emilia Fox’s performances?
She is just unbelievably bad. Don't be fooled by her "normal voice" that you hear when she's narrating - her character accents are absolutely painful to listen to. Screeching nails on a chalkboard.

Each Character's Voice More Annoying Than the Next
Penguin Random House identifies Emilia Fox as an acclaimed audio book reader, but it is hard to make that claim with this performance. I have listened to dozens of Agatha Christie and other mysteries on audio, and this ranks as one of the worst. It's always a tricky line to toe as a reader, to present a silly or annoying character without being unbearably annoying to the listener. Somehow the best readers manage this trick, but Emilia Fox, no. The high-pitched shrieky tones of half the characters are simply unbearable. The best readers also manage to slip into male and female voices without it feeling false, yet Emilia's male voices remind me of my own feeble attempts to sound male when imitating people I know, but dropping a few registers but bringing little conviction to the shift in gender. All in all, with this book, I never fell into that happy suspension of disbelief that takes place when the best readers, such as Hugh Fraser, read the best stories, such as Agatha Christie's.
As a kid, I preferred reading the Miss Marple tales to Hercule Poirot stories. But thanks to Hugh Fraser's superb renderings of Poirot and Hastings, and Emilia Fox's irritating rendition of Miss Marple and her band of vicars' wives and the like, I am now on Team Hercule Poirot. I will probably not relive all those great Miss Marple moments on audiobook because this rendition of A MURDER WAS ANNOUNCED was simply unbearable. The publisher would do well to vet the readers and ask if they are helping to keep this series of mysteries alive. Audio books keep these novels alive and even encourage the sale of text versions. Hard to imagine anyone savoring this collection of irritating characters in a cozy yet murderous English village as told by Emilia Fox.

Not the narrator’s best
One of my favorite Agatha Christie stories and I have listened to it on CD numerous times. I usually think Emilia Fox does a fine job, but this time, the voice she used for one of the characters spoiled the listening experience for me. The voice was so affected! for a character who is not. What a disappointment.

"Don't. Have. Money." Incredible narration.
If you could sum up A Murder Is Announced in three words, what would they be?
Incredibly camouflaged evil.
What did you like best about this story?
All the hidden intricacies of English village life, amusingly written and discovering new depths to my own naiveté'... Astounding narration. I simply could not believe the level of detail and style changes done by this one person's voice.
What does Emilia Fox bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Simply the best narrator I have ever had the privilege to hear. Ms. Fox brought each character to life in such a minutely nuanced performance, that I could hardly believe it was the same person speaking. She was hilarious too, with the foreign accent of the housekeeper as well as giving the essence of her hysterical outbursts and rants without making the listener want to skip forward. I specifically sought a book narrated by this person for my next purchase.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me long for more Miss Marple, although I should be listening to more books relevant to my work! Ugh! :-(
Any additional comments?
Okay. If Mrs. Christie has committed any crimes, they will never be found out by human means, or even artificial intelligence.

This is so far my favorite Christie mystery!
I just can't get enough of this one! I think I've listened to it a dozen times since I got it 3 months ago.
The reader
This is the second audio book I've listened to with this reader and she did very well with this book. Each character had their own voice with only a couple minor characters sounding similar. The tones and inflections matched the characters attitudes at different times. There is even a point when one character is imitating another and the reader didn't just switch voices but actually sounded like the first person imitating the other! One thing though is that in the next book I heard her read, I thought some of these characters were in that book.
The story
The story pulls you along and keeps you guessing till the dramatic reveal at the end. It's surprising while still making sense after all the groundwork laid in the earlier chapters. Some of the clues are clear but most are subtle enough that I'm still catching ones I'd missed the first time. I think there are even some clues that Christie didn't explain at the end and that makes it feel, in this case, even more realistic. There are two minor points I think went unexplained, but they don't change my overall opinion and enjoyment of the story.

Bring back Rosemary Leach!!!
Would you try another book from Agatha Christie and/or Emilia Fox?
No. Not for Miss Marple.
What didn’t you like about Emilia Fox’s performance?
I didn't think any of the female characters were different. And the males weak.
Any additional comments?
Rosemary's version is wonderful. I listen to it at lease once a week. I'm lucky to have gotten it as one of my first audible books.
