I (re)read this book for two reasons: I belong to a group reading Agatha Christie's oeuvre in order of publication, and it fit a Halloween Bingo prompt - 13. Either one of those reasons would have been a good enough excuse to read this charming little collection of Miss Marple showing everyone up....
I bought this book in paperback a while ago and though I had started some of the stories, I never got around to finishing it in one good. Not because I didn't love it or anything, I just got busy with other books. I thought this was an overall great short story collection featuring Miss Marple and s...

I am not a fan of short stories, but these Marple stories were outstanding and thoroughly enjoyable.

Somewhat re...
Thirteen stories told in a circle of friends and neighbours, and amidst them Miss Marple. I can hardly think of a better setting and a more elegant way to connect a series of short stories.The stories themselves are just what you expect from Christie: full of suspense, red herrings and Miss Marple's...
I really liked this book. It's filled with short stories that a group op people, among them Miss Marple, tell to each other. The others need to guess what happened or who did it. Also a nice exercise for yourself if you like to guess 'Who did it?'.
This was a bit different from Poirot books. First where Poirot is a travalled men who solves the cases based on logic and those little cells he referes; Marple solves her crimes because of similar experiences on her little town that she refers often that she never left.The stories are small and easi...
