--- SPOILERS AHEAD ---
Would have been nice to see more of Miss Marple in this book but Agatha Christie always manages to write really realistic engaging characters.
Wasn't actually that much of a fan of Jerry, he's arrogant and I don't like the way he bosses around Meghan and eventually becomes her saviour.
Didn't guess the ending and actually had no idea the whole way through who could have done it.
It's really interesting to read this book from a modern perspective with social media meaning that everyone has a poison pen at theur finger tips and how we are decades on from the time Agatha Christie wrote this but still playing out the same patterns.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These reviews are all my own opinion and a reflection of my personal tastes and mood at the time of reading, NOT a reflection of the books plot or authors ability.
