Nemesis Audiobook Summary

In Agatha Christie’s baffling detective story, Nemesis, a letter from a dead man instructs Miss Marple how to conduct an investigation into a puzzlingly unspecific crime.

In utter disbelief, Miss Marple read the letter addressed to her from the recently deceased Mr. Rafiel–an acquaintance she had met briefly on her travels. He had left instructions for her to investigate a crime after his death. The only problem was, he had failed to tell her who was involved or where and when the crime had been committed. It was most intriguing.

Soon she is faced with a new crime–the ultimate crime–murder. It seems someone is adamant that past evils remained buried. . . .

Nemesis (Miss Marple #12), Agatha ChristieNemesis is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie (1890–1976) and first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club in November 1971. It was the last Miss Marple novel the author wrote, although Sleeping Murder was the last Christie novel to be published. Miss Marple receives a post card from the recently deceased Jason Rafiel, a millionaire whom she had met during a holiday on which she had encountered a murder, which asks her to look into an unspecified crime; if she succeeds in solving the crime, she will inherit £20,000. Rafiel has left her few clues. She begins by joining a tour of famous British houses and gardens with fifteen other people, arranged by Mr Rafiel prior to his death. ....عنوانهای چاپ شده در ایران: «ال‍ه‍ه‌ ان‍ت‍ق‍ام‌: ح‍ل‌ م‍ع‍م‍ای‌ ق‍ت‍ل‌ ت‍وس‍ط خ‍ان‍م‌ ج‍ی‍ن‌ م‍ارپ‍ل‌»؛ «ال‍ه‍ه‌ ان‍ت‍ق‍ام‌»؛ نویسنده: آگ‍ات‍ا ک‍ری‍س‍ت‍ی‌‏‫؛ تاریخ نخستین خوانش: سال1998میلادیعنوان: ال‍ه‍ه‌ ان‍ت‍ق‍ام‌: ح‍ل‌ م‍ع‍م‍ای‌ ق‍ت‍ل‌ ت‍وس‍ط خ‍ان‍م‌ ج‍ی‍ن‌ م‍ارپ‍ل‌؛ نویسنده: آگ‍ات‍ا ک‍ری‍س‍ت‍ی‌‏‫؛ مت‍رج‍م: م‍ن‍ی‍ژه‌ رض‍ائ‍ی‌زاده‌؛ تهران، نشر پاسارگاد، سال1377؛ در371ص؛ شابک ایکس-964607877؛ موضوع داستانهای جنایی از نویسنگان بریتانیا - سده20معنوان: ال‍ه‍ه‌ ان‍ت‍ق‍ام‌؛ نویسنده: آگ‍ات‍ا ک‍ری‍س‍ت‍ی‌‏‫؛ مت‍رج‍م: مجتبی عبدالله نژاد؛ تهران، هرمس، نشر کارآگاه، سال1388؛ در شش صفحه و292ص؛ شابک9789643636111؛ چاپ دوم سال1393؛ چاپ چهارم سال1397؛رمان «الهه انتقام» اثر بانوی روانشاد «آگاتا کریستی»، داستان دیگری از ماجراهای «خانم مارپل» را بازگو می‌کند؛ شخصیت داستانی «مارپل»، زن مسن و ماجراجویی است، که کنجکاوی او منجر به کشف حقایق ترسناکی می‌شود؛ خانم «مارپل» ساکن روستای «سنت ماری مید»، روزی در روزنامه ی «تایمز» مرگ آقای «جیسون رافیل» را میخواند؛ «رافیل» مردی سرسخت و ثروتمند بود، و «خانم مارپل» در سفری به جزیره ی «سنت اونوره»، یکی از جزایر «کارائیب»، با او آشنا شده بود؛ «رافیل» لقب «الهۀ انتقام» را به «خانم مارپل» داده، و او را فردی بااستعداد و نابغه میدانست؛ به دنبال مرگ «رافیل»، «خانم مارپل» از دفتر حقوقی «رافیل» نامه ای دریافت میکند، و با «جیمز برادریت» مشاور حقوقی او، و شریکش «شوستر» آشنا میشود؛ طبق وصیتنامِۀ «رافیل»، خانم «مارپل» به ازای گرفتن مبلغی استخدام شده، تا پرده از راز جنایتی بردارد و آن را آشکار کند؛ جنایتی که مابین «خانم مارپل» و «رافیل»، به صورت راز و مربوط به رمز «الهۀ انتقام» استتاریخ بهنگام رسانی 06/06/1399هجری خورشیدی؛ 11/02/1401هجری خورشیدی؛ ا. شربیانی

Miss Jane discovers that Mr. Jason Rafiel, who worked with her in a previous case ( A Caribbean Mystery) has passed away he was a rich, retired army major a wizard at finances. She had met him on a Caribbean vacation in a hotel, in the West Indies about a year and a half ago. Not exactly a friend but Jane enjoyed the company of the rough, yet somehow likable major in very ill health. Receiving a letter from unknown solicitors, ( lawyers) as they're called in England inside is a message from Jason Rafiel , the dead man who makes a proposition to Miss Marple, written shortly before his unfortunate demise . Offering 20,000 pounds for solving a perplexing mystery and achieving justice maybe, also the old lady could use the money, who couldn't? Leaving the quiet village of St. Mary Mead meeting with the reticent lawyers, Mr. Broadribb and Mr.Schuster in their London offices , they can give little information nevertheless arrange for Jane, to take a tour of Famous Houses and Gardens around the lovely countryside, all paid by the late generous Mr. Rafiel. This is connected to the conundrum whatever that is. Seventeen men and women are on the big bus directed by Mrs. Sandbourne, are these passengers suspects in the case? They look quite ordinary yet people will surprise you, as Miss Marple through experience knows much too well. Nemesis the funny name Rafiel gave her, soon learns about several killing at one of the small, quaint villages she stops at . Strange messages from the late Mr. Rafiel, continue to be sent to the uneasy Jane and he even plans for her to spend a few nights with three peculiar sisters in their sadly rundown mansion. Miss Marple feels evil all around the premises a girl who lived with the three ladies disappeared ten years ago, she was found dead and a boy connected to Rafiel was convicted and sent to prison, another missing girl never located. An accident happens to one of the passengers on the bus tour, was it really one ? Or an attempted murder , Miss Jane Marple will need to work hard to earn her money. Another brilliant mystery novel by the always entertaining Agatha Christie, her stories may seem tame by today's low standards yet her talent shows, there is only one Agatha...and readers appreciate that fact.

Nemesis by Agatha Christie is the second to last Miss Marple Mystery in her collection about a doddering old woman who gets involved in crime detection... even the other characters refer to poor Miss Marple as an elderly lady who gets in the way. Truthfully, she's fantastic, and I am sad to almost be done with my second read of the entire series. Nemesis is a code word from an earlier book, and many characters return in this one to help Miss Marple solve a crime. The only problem, she doesn't actually know what the crime is! Piqued your interest now?I enjoyed the trip in this book... Miss Marple tours a bunch of old homes and gardens, trying to find out what her recently deceased acquaintance wants her to do. He wasn't murdered, so it seems peculiar. But the money he's left her is a treasure. As she discovers odd connections between the other travelers, and several people we've met before pop up in strange situations, the plot begins to thicken. I love Christie's approach in this book, as it really pushes readers to use the analytical side of their brain. A fine example of a well-written murder mystery. But the killer, once we knew the victim's identity, was a bit too obvious for me.

Evident, nu mă așteptam la identitatea criminalului, ca în orice roman scris de Agatha Christie. Răsturnările de situație au fost frumos prezentate, iar Miss Marple a reușit să scape cu viață, spre surprinderea tuturor."- Iar omul suferă de atâtea boli! Nu mă refer la cele foarte grave, Doamne ferește, ci vreau să zic că toți avem vreo formă de reumatism sau vreo durere pe undeva. Picioarele nu sunt întotdeauna cum ar trebui să fie și, de obicei, ne doare spatele sau umărul ori mâinile.""- De fapt, nu credeam așa ceva, continuă Miss Marple, doar mă întrebam, fiindcă unele lucruri te preocupă mai mult când ești imobilizat, nu poți să acționezi ca înainte și trebuie s-o iei ușor. Atunci grijile îți vin, pur și simplu, în minte și se fac simțite."

“Ah, I see you are an actress, Miss Marple, as well as an avenger.” Miss Jane Marple, upon learning of the death of Jason Rafiel, is given a task set by the late Mr. Rafiel himself. In a letter written before his death Mr. Rafiel asks Miss Marple to solve a murder and if she is successful, she will receive 20,000 pounds. However, Mr. Rafiel does not provide any details and Miss Marple does not even know whose murder she is to solve. Driven more by the challenge than the money, Miss Marple takes the case and starts following the clues left behind by Mr. Rafiel. As Miss Marple gets closer to solving the case, could her own life be at risk?Originally written in 1971, this later installment of the Miss Marple series, to me, is one of the best. Miss Marple met Mr. Jason Rafiel while both were on holiday in the Caribbean island of St Honore about a year and a half ago. The two were involved in solving a murder there. Mr. Rafiel is a millionaire and not one of the easiest people to get along with. When he dies and leaves that letter behind for Miss Marple, she realizes that she made quite an impact on him. Having no solid clues, Miss Marple starts with the people that were with him in St. Honore. Then arrives the all-expenses-paid tour of famous British houses and gardens. Miss Marple joins the tour knowing that Mr. Rafiel must had more in mind than mere sight-seeing. Gradually, Miss Marple learns who was the victim and who is responsible for their death. I have to say that I quite liked this book and the way in which the plot moved along. Since we do not know whose murder Miss Marple is investigating, I had no idea what details were important and which were the red herrings. I recall reading A Caribbean Mystery and enjoying that book. Mr. Rafiel certainly is a standout character and Miss Marple even more so. The pace, meting out of clues and the characters were all well done in this narrative. This is not just an excellent whodunit, its also a witty story with humorous moments and a character that is larger than life in her fluffy, pink shawl. I am almost towards the end of this series and only have two books left to read in it. Such a shame for I just love these books. As for this installment, it was everythig I expected of Christie and so much more.

One of my favorites of Miss Marple's stories. Not sure why. Maybe it is the promise of riches (to her) at the end or danger she puts herself in. Or just the fact that she is traveling around rather staying in one (relatively) safe place.Jason Rafiel, whom she met when her nephew sent her to the West Indies, gave her the sobriquet of Nemesis and is dying, leaves her some funds if she will resolve a situati0n. He doesn't really tell her what the situation is, and his lawyers don't really know much about it. But he sends her on a bus tour, estates and gardens tour or some such thing. Through the course of the tour she discovers what the situation is primarily because he has also sent others on this tour to either help or give her clues. And there is one woman who tells her about a girl who was killed and that she believes she died for Love. This sends Miss Marple off on her chase.

5 Stars. The Book of Amos prophesized, "Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an everlasting stream." A true great of the 20th century, Martin Luther King Jr., extolled those lines as a guiding principle. They also spoke to Jane Marple's acquaintance, Mr. Rafiel; she had met him in the West Indies a year earlier. There is much from "A Caribbean Mystery" that reverberates here. One day in St. Mary Mead, Jane reads of his passing. He hadn't been well in St. Honore; it was sad but not a surprise. What was a surprise was the request asking her to attend at his solicitor's office. There she receives a letter from Jason Rafiel and with it, the opportunity of a substantial bequest. He wants her to take on a mysterious mission, to serve as she did in the Caribbean as a nemesis concerning a possible wrong. After much uncertainty, we discover one fact, that Rafiel's son Michael had been convicted of murdering a young woman, Verity Hunt, a decade earlier. Is Jane's mission to find the truth? Here we have Christie speaking through Miss Marple on human relations, evil in the world, and much more. On a timeline, this is Miss M's last appearance. (March 2020)
