At Bertram's Hotel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At Bertram's Hotel (published in 1965) is a detective fiction novel by Agatha Christie featuring the detective Miss Marple.

[edit] Plot

When Jane Marple comes up from the country for a holiday in London, she finds what she's looking for at Bertram's Hotel: a restored London hotel with traditional decor, impeccable service and an unmistakable atmosphere of danger behind the highly polished veneer. But what she doesn't realize is that a number of the people in the entrance hall alone are hiding secrets, all of which are about to become part of a violent chain of events set in motion when an eccentric guest makes his way to the airport on the wrong day.

[edit] Trivia

Bertram's Hotel is inspired by Brown's Hotel, in London, where Agatha Christie often stayed when visiting London.

[edit] Film versions

A 1987 adaptation was made by the BBC. Produced again in 2006 with Geraldine McEwan as part of the third season of her Marple canon.
