seano312 's review for:

A Murder Is Announced by Agatha Christie
4.0

Finally an Agatha Christie novel where
I figure out whodunnit. Sadly, I didn't figure out why.

This is also my first Miss Marple mystery, and I rather enjoy the lack of inscrutable Belgians.

I'm not going to put any spoilery bits in this review, but I was pretty surprised to see a positive depiction of putative lesbians.

There is also a pretty grim depiction of post-war England which is pretty matter of fact. England didn't get a US-style boom after the war. But hey, they got Agatha Christie, so fair trade.
