The plot bored me a lot ngl and there was a lot of stuff in there

in particular how sexual assault victims were portrayed

which rubbed me the wrong way

I see why people don't like this one - definitely read the content warnings or other reviews for more on that. But it's helped me read a book in a stressful time and I found it both familiar (for Marple) and surprising (for the way the mystery was presented). I also liked that there was a slight connection to the Caribbean mystery one and more references to other characters in this universe. (But I am still laughing about MM's description of women as "less accurate" than men!)
