Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
#11 in series  (I started reading this series in 2016 , committed in January, 2022 and I switched to audio versions in February, 2022. )
Will I read other installments?     Probably Not             Maybe              Definitely
I only have one more Miss Marple to read. I can take or leave Agatha Christie, which isn't nice to say as an aspiring mystery writer, but it's true. Reading her feels like a chore, but within my duty, I find some great nuggets of Christie's wisdom.
In this book, Christie wrote some AWFUL things about women and rape. Her stance, women say they have been raped to blame men for consensual sex. This was repeated twice in the book and not disputed by any other characters. This fear of being blamed and being called a liar is why most women will never report being sexually assaulted. This was written in 1971, so I hope it would not be published today.
Comparison to others in series:     Not as good           About the same           Better
The narrator was Emilia Fox. I continue to enjoy Emilia's voice.

The plot bored me a lot ngl and there was a lot of stuff in there

in particular how sexual assault victims were portrayed

which rubbed me the wrong way

Graphic: Homophobia and Misogyny

Moderate: Death, Grief, Rape, Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Toxic relationship

Minor: Kidnapping

Pretty horrific rape apologism in chapters 12 and 14, along the lines of girls “these days” crying rape to entrap boys. Queerphobic angles throughout.
