Really nice to read different authors' takes on the eponymous Miss Marple. Lovely to see some diversity too - in both the authors and the characters in the stories. I particularly enjoyed the stories by Jean Kwok, Natalie Haynes and Dreda Say Mitchell, but all of them were really well-written and true to the charater of Jane Marple. A definite 'recommended read' for Agatha Christie fans!
