Story4.5 out of 5 stars 50
"Anyone who murdered Colonel Protheroe," declared the parson, "would be doing the world at large a service!" It was a careless remark for a man of the cloth. And one which was to come back and haunt the clergyman just a few hours later. From seven potential murderers, Miss Marple must seek out the suspect who has both motive and opportunity.

Horrible narration destroys the story

Great story but difficult narrator to follow
Reviewed: 14-04-2020
Very good storyline as predictable from Agatha Christie however unfortunately this narrator makes the story difficult to follow due to the unchanging and expressionless voice. It becomes very difficult to understand which characters speaking.

My daily school trip crew ranging from 8-13 years old LOVED this!
David Tennant is so incredibly talented and the descriptive phrasing and picture creating ability of Cressida Cowell is unsurpassed. We sat in the driveway more than once, not wanting to get out of the car because we were too gripped with the story. Brilliant story writing, would highly recommend, just hanging out for the next one!!

All That Glitters is a fabulously funny story about two scruffy ponies, fancy dressage horses, competition, friendships, adventure and buried treasure which will appeal to boys and girls who love ponies and life outdoors!

Enjoyable, but disappointed

An enjoyable story. Funny in parts, dramatic in parts. Narrator was excellent. The main dislike is there is unnecessary swearing which ruins the whole thing, especially for children.
