Not by Agatha Christie! The cover description of the novel as an Agatha Christie is misleading.

Brilliant. Thank you so much for bringing this 'new' Miss Marple to us. Delighted that Agatha Christie's family gave the go-ahead to allow those stories to be gifted to all. Such a talented writer to bring Ms Christie's alive with magic !

No-one had the right to “authorise” someone, anyone, to use her name. How dare they. Parasites. And inferior writing.

But why should Lucy Foley ride on the coattails of Agatha Christie???

@kayeroskaft9619 3 ай бұрын

@@user-bs4jn6444 I don’t think Lucy Foley was attempting to ride on coattails. She, as an author in her own right, was invited to write a story featuring Miss Marple in a collection of 12 Miss Marple stories, each by a different author. Delightful idea I thought. In my opinion Ms Foley captured perfectly the pettiness so often portrayed by Agatha Christie. (The collection was approved and announced so not a surprise to any Christie family representative.)

@user-bs4jn6444 3 ай бұрын

@kayeroskaft9619 I understand that but don't get why there is any need for it.!! Agatha wrote so many wonderful stories that we enjoy..To call it Marple : 12 new stories is simply ripping off a wonderful character and use her name. I thought this dragged out too much but would like to read Lucy's own penmanship rather than copying a legend.

@@KittyxKultliscenced by the estate is not the same as "written by". Not a bad story, rather enjoyed it, but it should carry the name of the actual writer, the phrase "base upon the characters created by", and then they can put on that they had been approved. It was NOT written by Agatha Christie, and suggesting so is deceptive.

Using the same exact character of Miss Marple is one way of impersonating Agatha Christie. How about the description that says “Agatha Christie Audiobook Mystery” when in fact it isn’t .😮 Everyone is entitled to an opinion. You just expressed yours. Don’t you agree that others may do so just as you have done? In these United States of America we have something called “freedom of speech” so that we can freely voice our opinions about things like 👉🏻 inauthentic audiobooks misleading readers 👈🏻 for instance. I don’t believe this commenter was being “mean.” Only expressing their view of irritation because this story is not an authentic Agatha Christie Audiobook. 😊

The authors didn’t call themselves anything. Agatha Christie’s estate officially licensed and commissioned these bestselling mystery authors to write their twists on a Marple mystery and it is fully detailed in the description so it’s your fault if you didn’t read the description and don’t know all of Agatha’s works to know this is not one of her classics.

People complaining about this “not being Agatha Christie” if you read the thumbnail it clearly shows this is a story from Marple, which is a collection of 12 bestselling mystery authors’ takes on Miss Marple mysteries. The Agatha Christie estate officially licensed these stories. It’s fine if you don’t like the story but stop saying things like “clickbait” and “false advertising” because it is in the thumbnail and the description that this is Lucy Foley’s AUTHORIZED take on Miss Marple. If you are mad about that, be mad at the estate.

It is an officially licensed short story from the Christie estate, not a clickbait tactic. They chose 12 bestselling modern mystery authors to write a Miss Marple story. That is why it still has Agatha Christie’s name on it, it’s her character. It says (by Lucy Foley) in the description and explains where the short story is collected.
