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.

Not my favorite Marple book. I appreciate that we spend more time as a reader with Miss Marple and her thoughts (compared to other Marple books) but the rest of the characters didn’t really pull me in. Still had a pretty good twist that I didn’t see coming. Decent whodunnit book overall.

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

Comparison to others in series: Better About the same Not as good Good, but it could have been better
The narrator was Emilia Fox. Excellent as always.
