Great mystery. Thankfully, Miss Marple is in this one more than the first book. Excellent audiobook.
That was really enjoyable. When it comes to detective work in books, and trying to guess the culprit as a reader, Agatha Christie's seems the best to me for now. You actually get all the information (not like with Holmes), the answer at the end actually makes sense, and not some weird deus ex machina, and no weird shoved in your throat romantic tension. I do enjoy detective stories where you have a few suspects and the more you read the more you switch your suspicions from one to the other. I understand now why everyone has been the singing the praises of Miss Marple.
After reading several of Christie's books, I learned to expect the unexpected. The least likely person would most likely be the killer, so suspect everyone. I put on my detective hat and closely examined the characters with a magnify glass. In this case the list of suspects is not long, so remembering character names is not too difficult as compared to decide if they are telling the truth or not.
From previous books by the author I had some problems dealing with multiple point of views, but in this story, each characters provided me with a significant information that can potentially lead to solving the case. A clue collected from one individual would build onto the next clue or be a piece in a missing puzzle. Small gestures made by the characters are not left unnoticed; rather they are taken into consideration.
The author wrapped up the story up quite nicely with everyone getting what they rightfully deserved.
My rating: 3/5

It was alright, certainly not one of my favorites though.
Not the best of Christie as far as content, but still kept you guessing until the very end.
