It always astonishes me how Agatha Christie still manages to surprise us all with her intricate plots, written over 70 years ago. Truly the best in her genre!
Obsidian Blue & I have both been reading the Poirot mysteries, and as it happens, she read Miss Marple last year. I'm going in reverse order & will be reading Miss Marple next year. However, my family was looking for an Agatha to listen to on our vacation, & this one was relatively short (a little...
It has been awhile since I have read a Miss Marple mystery. I enjoyed this one very much. I forget how humorous Agatha Christie is as she portrays a village's people and their gossip. Very tongue-in-cheek. I like the lightness of her prose. This is a fun read.
Miss Marple is a great character and very different in the books than the picture I have in mind from the numerous movie versions. The plot was well-thought out and had a surprising twist at the end - in retrospective, like always with Mrs Christie, it all made perfect sense.
A particularly clever and twisty, if nasty, mystery involving two deaths and the usual gang of fascinating characters, including several of the village characters from the previous two books, Sir Henry and of course, Miss Marple herself.A highly entertaining page-turner.

After reading 4:50 from Paddington, I was expecting much more from this one, but unfortunately this book was not as good as that. It was a quick read and I guess that was the only good thing about it. I am now a bit worried about reading the other books of Miss Marple Series.Won’t recommend it to an...
I kept seeing in my mind's eye Dolly Bantry as portrayed by Joanna Lumley in the PBS show. This audiobook went by way too fast. I love Ms. Marple and would have enjoyed more.
The last time I had read this book was in the year 2006. I had bought an omnibus edition containing four Miss Marple Mysteries at the Kolkata Book fair and had thoroughly enjoyed reading each one of them. So, while re-reading, I was well aware of the identity of the culprits, but I had forgotten th...
Agatha Christie knows a thing or two about creating an interesting mystery with a cast of characters a mile long. In the murder of a young, pretty girl the suspects are many and all are suspect in some respect, but only Miss Marple will solve the crime.Unfortunately, compared to my previous experien...
