A Murder Is Announced by Agatha Christie
2.0
2.5 stars
Christie has yet to beat And Then There Were None. I found this particular Miss Marple installment to be somewhat dull and it dragged on far too long. The explanation at the end was exhausting. The xenophobia was cringe-worthy and the word p***y made many, many more appearances than expected. I liked some of the characters, but the investigation moved so slowly it was like they wanted additional people to die.
On a side note, this edition of the book was riddled with errors - typos, incorrect punctuation, the entirely wrong word being used. Embarrassing.
