At Bertram's Hotel: A Miss Marple Mystery
by Agatha Christie
Not Agatha's best Miss Marple. In fact, Miss Marple is really only a supporting character.
Miss Marple is gifted a stay in London at a hotel she remembers from her youth. And to her surprise it is exactly like she remembers it. (which, eventually, makes her suspicious) At the same time there are a series of daring robberies happening across England. A famous daredevil and her estranged daughter staying at the hotel. And a dotty clergyman (who is a bit entertaining). Clergyman goes missing. Mother and daughter know each other is there. And Miss Marple watches on. When police get involved over the missing clergyman, then things begin to move forward, but Miss Marple has stepped away then.
So SOME good characters, and the mystery not really what you thought it was going to be because you had the feeling all along who was behind the daring robberies. But satisfies the Agatha itch until you remember the better ones.
