If this one had been spaced out over a couple of months it would have been better. There were some patterns I caught wayyyyy too soon.

I had forgotten just how much i adored these stories, Agatha Christie herself said that Miss Marple is very suited to the short story and she was absolutely right. Perfection

Basically, in this collection of short stories, Miss Marple and her friends were having a gathering of somekind. Each of them shared mysterious stories and the rest tried to guess what happened or who did it. As a reader, it’s just incredibly fun to make my own guess. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want to say that there were interesting dynamics between older and younger generation. And my favourite comment from Miss Marple on this subject is, ‘I hope you dear young people will never realise how very wicked the world is.’
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s difficult to give 5 stars for a collect of short stories because even though they were generally absolutely entertaining, there were some stories that I liked more that others. But anyways, I’ll definitely recommend you to read if you like or want to get into short stories. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
