The Bloodstained Pavement and other stories - By: M. Maude, 12 Dec 2007
Although a lifelong fan of Agatha Christie,these Tuesday Club stories were rather spoilt for me by having a female narrator. I would have preferred a male rather than the familiar Miss Marple voice of Joan Hickson.
At times it was confusing as the mainly male characters were telling their own stories but narrated by Miss Hickson,and despite everything she never lost her distinctive Miss Marple voice! (One of the characters in each story was also Miss Marple). I shalll not be purchasing the second set of stories as they are also narrated by Joan Hickson who detracted from my listening pleasure.

A correction - By: Patricia C. Grant Perez, 11 Aug 2005
I have just realized there was something wrong in the review I posted last week. The stories contained in "The Bloodstained Pavement" are NOT the same stories contained in "The Blue Geranium". Actuallly, the first audiobook contains the first seven stories of the book "The Thirteen Problems" ("The Tuesday Night Club", "Ingots of Gold", "The Blood-Stained Pavement", "The Idol House of Astarte", "Motive Versus Opportunity", "The Thumb Mark of Saint Peter" & "Death by Drowning"). The second audiobook contains the other six stories.
You can actuallly by an audiobook by Mistery Master Series from amazon.com that includes both parts & is much cheaper (shipping & handling included), by the name of "The Tuesday Club Murders", also read by Joan Hickson.
Why so many names? - By: Patricia C. Grant Perez, 26 Jul 2005
This audiobook is highly enjoyable by any lover of mystery in audiobook format & Joan Hickson is the great reader of Miss Marple. Ms Christie had a fine sense of humour at its darkest spoken through the lips of nice old ladies.
In case you are new to Miss Marple's audiobooks, the stories contained in "The Bloodstained Pavement" belong to "The Tuesday Club Murders", a.k.a "The Thirteen Problems" (I guess these are the titles belonging to the American & British editions of the same book)and are, apparently, the same stories contained in "The Blue Geranium". I do wish Amazon would bother to detail which stories are included in each audiobook, actual length & so on, it does get a bit confusing.
