Slow at the beginning and the whole book is mainly conversation, but it does pick up with a good twist

This fun book takes place in a country village. Someone puts an ad in the newspaper announcing a murder will happen at a certain house at a certain time, so the neighbors all show up. Miss Marple is brought in midway to figure things out.

“Really, I have no gifts—no gifts at all—except perhaps a certain knowledge of human nature. People, I find, are apt to be far too trustful. I'm afraid that I have a tendency always to believe the worst. Not a nice trait. But so often justified by subsequent events.”
It is always with delight that I start each month with an Agatha Christie book. A Murder is Announced is another great one, featuring a rather clever and audacious murder. Just imagine being invited to one!
Christie gives us all we expect from her: a typical, quaint, English village and its assortment of quirky inhabitants. Our Miss Marple, although appearing rather late in the story, shines naturally, but I also enjoyed the interactions between all the characters, and how this worked into the plot. Brilliant as always :O)
