Not my favorite Miss Marple, but I liked it. The twist was very good.

Wow! Finally finished with this one! This has been my "phone book" AKA the book I've slowly but surely read on my phone when I found myself with time to do something on phone, but didn't have a paperback or my nook. And what a long story it was... This one took so long because I really just didn't enjoy reading it, so I had to force myself to read. Combine that with the fact that I pretty certainly knew who the murderer was the whole time, I just couldn't bring myself to finish this one. But I finally did! Yay!

I like the description of the town as much as the mystery.

Mình không biết nhưng cảm giác cuốn này từ khoảng nửa sau là flow bắt đầu bị rối, có quá nhiều thứ involve vô, quá nhiều nhân vật và quá nhiều luồng suy nghĩ.

Với lại là hung thủ cuốn này hơi dễ đoán. Ngay từ sau đoạn 1/3 ban đầu mình đã đoán ra được hung thủ r nên đọc hơi chán

Christie's depiction of Miss Marple is perfect in this one. A small English village, an entertaining cast of characters, the after effects of WWII and plenty of clues to keep the reader guessing.
