 I don't know how to feel about this one... It was certainly good as all Agatha Christie's books are, but I felt like something was missing. Maybe because Miss Marple was more involved in the past book, and here she was just another witness. I did love how at the end (as always) she's able to know what's going on due to knowing human nature, so that's good, but I was expecting more Miss Marple and less Vicar Leonard Clement (the book is narrated by him). Besides that, great mystery as always. How it was planned and performed was almost flawless. Great book and highly recommend for all mystery lovers.
