Miss Marple audiobooks in order

Twelve novels, and an unusually messy audio catalogue — most titles exist in several competing recordings, so check the narrator before you buy rather than assuming.

Which order should you listen in?

Almost entirely standalone — start anywhere. A Murder Is Announced and The Body in the Library are the usual recommendations for a first listen. Sleeping Murder was written early but published last.
