I do believe this is my first Agatha Christie book!
Based on the Goodreads reviews, I picked one that wasn't a typical Miss Marple book. Ah, well, it was really good so the next one I pick will be awesome.
Elspeth McGillicuddy, a friend of Miss Marple's, witnesses a murder on a train that was running opposite hers. No one believes her, but according to Miss Marple, Miss McGillicuddy is "not given to hallucinations".
Miss Marple calls in friends to help investigate the murder, which really starts with finding a body to prove there was a murder, and, probably as no surprise, she solves it.
This was a fun read and actually twisty enough that when I thought I had the culprit figured out, I was proven wrong! I really enjoyed this and look forward to reading more Miss Marple books.
I'm guessing, as my friend says, that I'm just a Matlock show away from being an old woman at 39 (I already knit and now read Miss Marple....)
I'm ok with that!

Really love this premise so much! Such an unlikely circumstance and such a great execution. I appreciate that Miss Marple has to work around her age and limitations to solve this one. She deals with real problems instead of everything magically being solved for her.

This was another Miss Marple story that I’d watched a while ago, but couldn’t remember whodunnit. It was good fun, full of unlikeable characters who were all highly suspicious. I really liked the way Miss Marple was involved, and how she got her young friend Lucy Eyelesbarrow to be her eyes and ears whilst she stayed in a house nearby. When the big reveal came at the end I was pleasantly surprised as I to who the murderer was, as I hadn’t really considered them as a viable suspect. Another brilliant mystery read perfectly by Emilia Fox.
