4.0

This is a fun collection of stories. Some of them are written in the style of the original Agatha Christie books, others not, but all are true to the character of Miss Marple. None are stand outs in the genre, and a few are quite silly, but all of them are well written. If you want a bookish palate cleanser, this is it.
