Marple: Twelve New Mysteries by Agatha Christie

3.0

---

I'm not one of those people who insist that their adaptations of Marple need to be faithful to the source material bc I'm not defending the type of woman Christie wanted Marple (every ism under the sun probably lol what with her being raised Victorian) but at the same time it felt a little silly reading Marple being nice and understanding to foreigners when she didn't even tolerate the foreigners from Europe so to speak so 🤷🏽‍♀️ Barring that though, some of them were good mysteries I would say but some were either too obvious or I didn't care for them but I would still say this book is worth a read
