natcat 's review for:

4:50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie
3.25
funny mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Not the best Marple or Agatha Christie, as I didn't find the solution to the mystery very good. It's an absolutely fantastic set-up, though, and I was absolutely gripped by the book all the way through. I also thought the characters were great, and Lucy getting multiple marriage offers throughout was very funny - she was absolutely great, I'd read a series of books about her solving mysteries and people's problems any day.
