Thirteen short stories work as an introduction to Miss Marple. This was beautiful. I loved how Agatha Christie presented her as a cute old lady who solves "unsolved" crimes while knitting. With Poirit, we have enough evidence to find who the guilty person is. Miss Marple works in a whole different way: the way of people. She can identify the guilty party by hearing about them and getting to know their nature. Miss Marple knows people's behavior thanks to her age and observation abilities, and that's how she simply "knows" who did it every single time.
