Read this after someone mentioned on Bookreporter.com blog that they always read this title around Christmas. I loved Dame Agatha when I was younger and read mostly the mysteries solved by Inspector Hercule Poirot. Enjoyed this book as it featured Miss Jane Marple an entirely different detective solving a murder happening around Christmas. It read very quickly and is a fun read during the holidays for a shorter attention span (which I now have until Decmber 26th). ost of a miserable family gets wiped out after one of them presumably murders a woman on a train. I loved the absolute lack of emotion or loss after two brothers are murdered; the English are more "good riddance" and much less guilt than their counterparts in the States.
