Publisher's Summary

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.

The Mirror Cracked from Side to Side.

I like the narration. At times I felt the story dragged on, and at one point I wasn't sure I would finish it. It was ok..not the best Miss Marple but satisfactory.

Terrible narration, okay book

Yet another great Agatha Christie novel murdered by Emilia Fox's detestable narration. Some characters she voices well, but the rest are so poorly done I'd rather listen to an illegal unlicensed amateur job off some podcast or other. If she can't be a consistently good voice actor, she should at least just read clearly, but you won't find that here.
