Schade, dass mich der letzte Fall der Miss Marple Reihe nicht von den Socken gehauen hat. Der Anfang war richtig gut und spannend. Dann war mir aber leider recht schnell klar, wer der Täter war. Bis es dann endlich zur Aufklärung kommt, vergehen noch viele Kapitel und man bekommt viele falsche Verdächtige serviert. Vielleicht ist dieser Fall einfach tatsächlich nicht so gut oder ich habe mittlerweile einfach schon zu viele Krimis von Agatha Christie gelesen...
Nichtsdestotrotz ist die Miss Marple-Reihe sehr empfehlenswert, für alle die Cozy Crime lieben.

Gwenda and Giles recently married, moved into a home in Dilmouth. Gwenda soon though, has recollections of witnessing a murder 18 years earlier in that very house. Did her late father commit the murder? Was it one of Helen’s suitors? Family friend Marple comes into this novel a bit later to support them in the efforts to solve the crime. This is Marple’s last mystery. One thing that impacted my impression was partway through this novel I remembered that I had watched the TV adaptation a few years ago, so I knew the identity of the murderer quite early on. Another interesting mystery full of red herrings.

Ako je nešto isitina za Agatu Kristi to je da niko ne ume da piše true crime kao ona. Ova knjiga nije razočarala i baš sam uživala čitajući je. Do zadnje strane nisam znala kako će se razrešiti i msilim da je u tome čar Kristinih knjiga. Preporuke!

“I know a hundred ways of love, And each one makes the loved one rue,”
I loved this one! It was fun for Miss Marple to be more a part of the mystery and I loved our two main characters. The ending was satisfying but was one that I guessed well before the end (it doesn't happen often).

I liked the atmosphere that Christie created with this one. For the amateur sleuths, this is one of her easier mysteries to solve. Unfortunately, I think this mystery is too similar to Nemesis, and I guessed the solution right away .
This book was written in the 1940s, but was not published until the 1970s. For this reason, I would suggest reading Sleeping Murder as book #5 in the Miss Marple series, between Moving Finger and Murder is Announced. This will mean Nemesis is now the finale of the Miss Marple series, which makes the most sense.
