From all Agatha Christie books that I have read that's the only one that I own. I don't remember what happened but I remember that it wasn't my favorite.

Such a beautiful start of a novel. it felt like visiting an old friend after years and catching up. Who doesn't love a little bit of nostalgia? Even if there weren't any murder or mystery I would've kept reading.
But considering that it is a Christie novel mystery and murder came knocking. An immersive and fast-paced experience that you dive right into and finish in one sitting. The curve balls you expect, do come and leave you amazed. It's a good read.

Despite knowing from the get go who the killer was (owing only to my long history of watching the film adaptations) I actually still thoroughly enjoyed reading this - which I was not expecting.
This was meant to be one of those books you read just for the sake of saying you’ve read it, rather than actually wanting to know the story. But going along I was really feeling content reading this and found it almost strangely comforting (though that may be because this was one of the first Miss Marple’s I had ever seen).
Pleasant and interesting with added twists that never made it to the screen.

Về flow câu chuyện, nội dung, từng chi tiết không có gì để chê. Vẫn là tác phẩm mang đậm phong cách của Agatha Christie.
Một câu chuyện đẫm máu, nhiều người chết. Và cũng là một câu chuyện đẫm lệ và đầy tính nhân văn. Không trách được bất kỳ ai, ai cũng mang một nỗi khổ và ai cũng có thể là vô tình nhưng đã từng mang lại bất hạnh cho người khác

I love Agatha Christie. And there a just a handful of her titles I haven't yet read. This was one of them. And I decided to listeread it, although I am pretty sure I will read it in print at some point.
As I started listereading this title I realized I had seen a screen version - quite a long time ago. Parts of it seemed familiar to me so I really enjoyed listereading it.
"The mirror crack'd from side to side; 'The curse is come upon me,' cried The Lady of Shalott." American film star Marina Gregg has settled down in St. Mary Meade, home to Miss Jane Marple. At a welcoming fete, one of Ms. Gregg's enthusiastic British fans falls down dead - a victim of poison. Miss Marple wasn't in attendance but that doesn't mean she can't figure out what happened and whodunnit.
