Dit was mijn eerste Miss Marple verhaal en ik ben zeker niet ontevreden! Het verhaal is overzichtelijk en de moord is origineel (zowel in de aankondiging als in het uitvoeren), maar toch erg onvoorspelbaar (vind ik zelf dan). Ik had tot het einde echt geen flauw idee wie het had gedaan en dat maakte het toch echt lekker spannend.
Ik moet zeggen dat ik vind dat Marple, in vergelijking met Poirot, een vrij kleine rol speelt in het verhaal en dat vind ik wat jammer. Je volgt vooral het politie onderzoek en Marple geeft alleen de ontknoping prijs. Wat mij betreft had zij echt zeker meer in beeld mogen komen.

The one thing I didn't like about this book was how much casual xenophobia there is. Part of the ending sort of redeems some of this, but not in a way that goes far enough or that truly criticises the xenophobia that is prevalent throughout much of the rest of the book. I of course appreciate the time in which this was written, but it still makes for uncomfortable reading and of course is still worth viewing critically. I did really enjoy the book overall, but it would've just been so much better if these attitudes had been more thoroughly addressed.

As with many of Agatha's works, I felt like it could have been shorter. She has a tendency to drag things out that don't need to be, but that might just be my personal taste.
