I enjoyed this book, it’s simplicity and interest. The crime genre is one of my favourites, and unlikely is there to be two of the same book (although they do follow the same kind of tropes). I didn’t find the characters overly interesting, but I liked to try to figure out the mystery among local people. The end was quite a normal ending for mystery books (reveal plot points that were touched on earlier, but connecting different pieces of information) although I found it interesting. I did like who the murder(s) was, and was proud that I got some things right. I also like Ms Marple.
