Audiokniha: Poklidné ovzduší St. Mary Mead jednoho dne zcela nečekaně rozvíří vražda... Zatímco nesympatický inspektor Slack umíněně sleduje úplně špatnou stopu, na scénu vstupuje - a to skutečně poprvé - nenápadná stará panna, slavná slečna Jane Marplová. Role okouzlující znalkyně lidských povah, slečny Marplové, se s humorem a roztomilou hravostí zhostila Růžena Merunková. Postavu vypravěče, vikáře Leonarda Clementa, a spoustu dalších postav si s chutí a nadhledem zahrál Otakar Brousek ml. Tématem detektivního románu samozřejmě je rozluštění záhady, jak došlo k odpornému zločinu. Věříme nicméně, že posluchače pobaví vtipný styl, s jakým Agatha Christie charakterizuje postavy tohoto příběhu, k čemuž přispěli notnou měrou také interpreti. Vzhůru do staré dobré Anglie! Čtou: Růžena Meruňková a Otakar Brousek ml.
