In the past, I haven't been as taken with Miss Marple as with Poirot, but I quite enjoyed this one. The mystery was also very good - extremely twisty but wrapped up neatly by the end.

The story itself is decent, though certainly not Christie’s best. The racism, though? Definitely not the vibe.

This had the right vibe but I rarely enjoy the books set in "exotic" (ick) locations fort obvious reasons. And really just no likeable characters here? I still enjoy the narrator though, so a quick listen.

I guessed the murderer about 1/2 through, but Miss Marple's relationship with Mr. Rafiel kept me going. Definitely not the strongest Marple entry.
