rgoswami 's review for:
A Murder Is Announced
by Agatha Christie
The word dated comes to mind. Though the mystery is fun, the ending is kind of a downer, and most importantly, the undercurrent of xenophobic racism is a little too strong in the Miss Marple set. Perhaps because Poirot is written as a foreigner, Christie would reign it in a bit, but this really is a product of its times. This **is** however a 3 star book if read after the first, if only because of the many references to the Vicar from Marple's home village. It also suggests that Marple does not age, given that at the end of the first book, the Vicar's wife is expecting, and here the Vicar's daughter is married to a 35 year old man of the cloth. o.O
In other words, Marple is an undying old biscuit. ^_^ as discussed with @Amrita Goswami ^_^
