Not my favorite Agatha Christie book, but it's still a good little cozy mystery. Read it in a day for my mystery book club. This was my first introduction to Miss Marple and I did enjoy her character

Another forced read, I'm not sure how long this took me and how many times I compared it to Agatha Christie's Marple episode.
It's very difficult to keep up with all the little details necessary for a Miss Marple novel, I hope I have more success with future reads, perhaps with distance from the show it will improve.

This was an enjoyable read but nothing too life changing. I had no idea who had done it as to be expected with an Agatha Christie mystery but it was fun to find out what happened all the same. Miss Marple is a funny character to follow.
Twelve years after Miss Marple's first mystery book, Christie reintroduces her. This is fun, and, for me a total unexpected ending. I apparently have not seen the adaptations, yet.
It has been a really long time since I have read Agatha Christie, like 35 years. But I decided it was time to pick these up again! This is a small town mystery. What are our neighbor's secrets.

Leuk begin, saai midden, gehaast eind, zo voelde het althans voor mij.
