I'm a big fan of Agatha Christie's detective novels, but this one was also my first Miss Marple.

One thing about Agatha Christie is that it's incredibly hard to figure out who the culprit is, how to connect the plots in the background, and which ones are relevant and in which way.

Although I didn't completely figure out how the book went, I did manage to pinpoint the murderer (and based on the real clues too!), and that also makes me feel like the world's greatest detective!

Given that so far I read at least one Agatha Christie per year, I just might continue with this tradition, because I'm yet to find one that I thoroughly dislike.

What a lovely way of spending two days of sunshine. A superb book featuring Miss Marple and an unnecessarily complicated murder. Classic Christie and brilliant.
