hwy all, out of all the marple books u've read, which was the least favourite of them,... i think mine was "At Bertram's Hotel.." It didnt have the usual "Christie" touch at all and the most important it wasn't a "Murder Mystery" in real sense.. I was highly disappointed after reading it..

My least favourite Marple books were: Sleeping Murder, A Caribbean Mystery, Nemesis and At Bertram's Hotel - in no particular order.  They just didn't have the mystery or surprise factor of her other Marple books.  Miss Marple is a favourite character of mine in the mystery book genre but these stories were disappointing.

I haven't read all of the Miss Marple books yet, but from the ones I have read I would have to say that At Bertrams Hotel is my least favorite, for the same reasons that akkshay1 stated. Also I found it quite boring.

I didn't enjoy reading Murder At The Vicarage to be honest. I thought the plot was very dull.
