¡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.

I really loved this book! This is my third Miss Marple mystery, and I think it’s my favorite, though I would have enjoyed even more Miss Marple. I love the premise of a nosy old lady who knows everyone’s business, and who’s been around long enough that everyone reminds her of someone else she’s met before as a great study of human character. This also had a great setup of an actual murder at what was supposed to be a murder mystery party. The plot twists veered into soap opera territory, and I successfully guessed two plot twists, but I did not uncover the murderer. There were hints of antisemitism in the character of Mitzi the cook, but other than that, it was a great book!

Tutaj było tyle postaci, historii z przeszłości i plot twistów, że aż mi się kręciło w głowie. I trochę to niestety wymęczyło. Ale jednocześnie mnie odprężyło, tak jak zawsze to robi Christie.
