The Truth is out there.

Been listening to Nemesis by Agatha Christie on CD.   I am truly impressed by some of the talent they have reading her novels.  In this case, Rosalind Ayres, and she does a great reading that really seems to capture Miss Marple.

In this novel, we are reacquainted with Jason Rafiel, who we met in the Caribbean Mystery.  Mr. Rafiel has died, but has left Miss Marple a task.  She must once again become "Nemesis" and seek justice.  But he doesn't give her much more to go on.   He arranges for her to go on a bus tour of England's homes and gardens.  Their she meets a Miss Temple who appears to be on a pilgrimage of her own.  It is not long before Miss Temple is involved in a grisly accident.   Miss Marple is nearing the truth.  What will she find?

Miss Marple novels are wonderful.  Agatha Christie is one novelist that I can read over and over again, and although I know the outcome, I still enjoy the journey.   Listening to them is a treat, and if you are someone who enjoys the film versions, try the audios. You will not be disappointed.
