The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie
3.0

I've been trying to read more Agatha Christie. I've mostly read Poirot books so far with the exception of The Body in the Library which I loved!

For a Miss Marple book, there just wasn't enough Miss Marple. She was like a background character for most of the novel which I found annoying. Maybe it's because it's the first book? But if that is the reason, it's garbage. I did not want to spend nearly 400 pages reading about the vicar.

Of course I'm still planning to read more Miss Marple. Who doesn't love a nosey old lady solving crimes from her garden? I hope the next few books feature her more prominently.
