She pops in a handful of times to point out something, and then does a big reveal at the end- but it doesn’t show her really being a detective which made me sad. Most of the book is in the Vicar’s POV, and while I liked his character, I wanted more Marple.
The murder was okay. There was a LOT of red herrings (a bit too much for me I think) but I didn’t guess the murderer so there is that 😊
All in all, an okay start, but I am looking foreword to reading more.

Okay, y'all, I don't have the greatest memory, and it has been years since I read some of these, but I'm still impressed how many times I've REread an Agatha Christie books and been taken in by the same red herrings all over again, leading to me being surprised by the reveal ALL OVER AGAIN!
This would actually be a four star book if I weren't so impressed by that. Miss Marple is here, but not quite at the height of her Miss Marpleness yet, as though the audience can only handle awesomeness if introduced in careful stages. So, solidly pleasant read overall, but the brilliance is reserved for the plot resolution in this one.
