Miss Marple: The Complete Short Stories by Agatha Christie

adventurous funny mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

5.0

Cozy mysteries with clever resolutions and all the charm (and strangeness) of smalltown life. The characters are definitely “of their time” so the stories are missing some of the interesting, more contemporary ideas about gender, psychology, criminality, etc, but for what they are, they are perfect.
