Chef's kiss. Loved it. An actual actual mystery-thriller plot that made me go, "Oh! So that is where that piece of puzzle fits." Rather than just providing some explanation at the end that no one expected, even though it had that too, there were actual pieces of the puzzle spread around in the plot that fit so well and so unpredictably made sense but also gave me surprise.

In The Gazette, a murder is announced for Fri 10/29 at 6:30 PM at Little Paddocks, the home of Leticia Blacklock. Letty expects neighbors to show for the spectacle. At the appointed time, a murder does in fact take place. Letty is injured, leading everyone to deduce that she is the target. Her good friend, Dora Bunner, recognizes the victim, claiming he tried to get money from Letty. 
After Craddock is brought in to investigate, he wishes for help from Miss Marple. Marple does get involved and after hearing more about all the people in the house (incl. Mitzi, Phillipa, Patrick, and Julia), she uncovers info about an inheritance that Letty will receive in the next few months. This proves to be a motive for murder. 
Entertaining. I did guess part of it, but not all of it. I liked the ending.

¡Hola! Hoy os traigo la reseña de Se anuncia un asesinato de Agatha Christie, una de mis escritoras favoritas.

He leído muchos libros de esta escritora y todos ellos me han encantado y, como no, con esté no ha habido excepción. La trama es de lo más interesante, me atrapó desde el principio y no podía soltar el libro, necesitaba saber que iba a pasar a continuación. Como en todos los libros de Agatha Christie los personajes son uno de los puntos fuertes de la historia, tenemos muchos personajes (esto es un poco lio, pero solo al principio) y todos ellos tienen secretos, por lo que todos parecen sospechosos. Conforme avanza la historia se van dando nuevos detalles e ideas para que el lector, mientras lee, intente averiguar quien es el asesino. La historia tiene un ritmo ágil, los capítulos son cortos y van cambiando de personaje y lugar, lo que hace que la historia sea más amena. El final es digno de un libro de Agatha Christie, no te lo esperas y sorprende muchísimo.

En definitiva, Se anuncia un asesinato es un libro muye entretenido y sorprendente que atrapa desde la primera página. Se lo recomiendo a todos aquellos a quienes les guste una buena novela de misterio. Espero que disfrutéis de este libro tanto como yo.
