dathen 's review for:
A Murder Is Announced
by Agatha Christie
slow-paced
Strong character development:
No
I’m surprised to find that the best introduction to Miss Marple comes four books into the series. She actually gets to play a role other than the outside observer here, and the reader actually gets to see her genius built up bit by bit instead of established by hearsay.
The mystery is very good, a big twist with enough clues I was able to partly guess—though the glum police PoV dragged the tone and some characters felt underused. Still a pretty solid Christie mystery.
