wyemu 's review for:
4:50 from Paddington
by Agatha Christie
A really enjoyable Miss Marple novel and one that often ends up being dramatised for television because of it's unexpectedness and eventually simple solution. The uncertainty at the beginning, was someone murdered, which train were they on etc., plays on a common question of what do you do if you think you've seen a crime committed but you're not certain? Christie uses Miss Marple's age well, playing on the stereotype of a dotty older lady in order to lure in the culprits and find out things indirectly. Yet Miss Marple's shrewdness and practical nature come through, throughout the novel. Highly entertaining crime writing.
