Book Summary

At Bertram’s Hotel (published in 1965) is one of Agatha Christie's later Miss Marple mysteries. Set in a seemingly tranquil and nostalgic London hotel, the story unravels a cunning web of crime hidden beneath a veneer of old-world charm.

Miss Marple, on a relaxing holiday in London, chooses to stay at Bertram’s Hotel, a place she remembers fondly from her youth. The hotel prides itself on offering impeccable Edwardian elegance — tea with crumpets, courteous staff, and an atmosphere untouched by modern chaos.

However, Miss Marple quickly senses that something is not quite right. The guests seem too perfect, the hotel too polished, and the setting too staged. Her suspicions are confirmed when strange things begin happening — a clergyman disappears, a maid is mysteriously absent, and an attempted murder occurs.

The central mystery unfolds around:

  • Canon Pennyfather, a forgetful clergyman who vanishes on his way to a conference.

  • Bess Sedgwick, a glamorous and scandalous woman with a mysterious past.

  • Elvira Blake, Bess’s daughter, who stands to inherit a fortune.

  • A sophisticated criminal enterprise that has been operating right under everyone’s noses — using the hotel as a front.

With the help of Chief Inspector Davy of Scotland Yard, Miss Marple gradually uncovers the truth: Bertram’s is a front for a well-organized criminal operation, involving identity theft, robbery, and manipulation. The hotel is not what it appears to be — and its nostalgic charm masks dangerous intentions.
