by Rosalind Ayres, Agatha Christie
Why is this book often noted as the least favorite Agatha Christie book? Except for Miss Marple talking about herself in the 3rd person "call me Nemesis" (which had my eyes rolling), the story itself was good. It's been so long since I reach it that I kept flip-flopping between two of the sisters as...
‘She’s going to take it on, is she? Sporting old bean,’ he said. Then he added, ‘I suppose she knows something of what it’s all about, does she?’ ‘Apparently not,’ said Mr Broadribb.

'Nemesis' was rather slow-paced and too descriptive but it still managed to calm me down and keep me interested. Oh, how I lo...
Even though I thought I'd read every Agatha Christie book that existed, I discovered that I had never read "Nemesis". While I enjoyed the book, I found it quite dark and... something. If I had Miss Marple's sense of evil, I'd say that the book definitely has the sense of evil about it - it's almost ...
