Death at the Village Jam Contest | A Miss Marple Mystery

A chilling Miss Marple village mystery set in the late-summer calm of St. Mary Mead, where the annual Jam and Preserve Contest brings bunting, pride, and carefully guarded ambitions into the village hall. When a respected judge collapses mid-tasting and polite applause masks uneven reactions, Miss Marple senses that something far more delicate than rivalry has been disturbed.

Told in the classic Agatha Christie tradition, this quietly unsettling Miss Marple audiobook unfolds through whispered compliments, unspoken resentments, and the subtle pressures of village respectability. Perfect for listeners who love gentle puzzles, emotional understatement, and mysteries shaped by habit, pride, and kindness gone awry. Ideal for cozy listening, reflective evenings, and fans of thoughtful British detective stories where truth reveals itself softly, jar by jar.
