Book thirteen of my personal read through of Agatha Christie in publication order!

 Okay, y'all, I don't have the greatest memory, and it has been years since I read some of these, but I'm still impressed how many times I've REread an Agatha Christie books and been taken in by the same red herrings all over again, leading to me being surprised by the reveal ALL OVER AGAIN!

 This would actually be a four star book if I weren't so impressed by that. Miss Marple is here, but not quite at the height of her Miss Marpleness yet, as though the audience can only handle awesomeness if introduced in careful stages. So, solidly pleasant read overall, but the brilliance is reserved for the plot resolution in this one.

Agatha Christie perfectly captures the coziness of a small town mystery without any of the corniness. The murder reveal was brilliant and blew me away. The writing style was comical and genius all at the same time too. I was surprised, because this book is a part of the Miss Marple series, to find that the lady herself was quite a small character. Overall this book was so enjoyable and a delight to read.
