The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side by Agatha Christie
3.0
There are two reasons why I give any book 3 stars. First, the book was satisfyingly boring. Second, I am left with neither praise nor complaints. Both the points check out for Christie's The mirror cracked from side to side (Marple series)
It is a straightforward story (as much as a murder mystery can be) and it isn't hard to notice all the hints. However, Agatha does her favorite trick of giving an equation: a + x = b. Here, the 'a' and 'b' are provided as clues while the 'x' is the motive.
If you manage to notice that 'a' then the story can be boring and lengthy. If you miss the 'a' then the answer will never surface until Agatha unveils it.
So, if you are picking this Miss Marple series next to discover who killed Mrs. Badcock when she was attending a fete and chatting with her favorite actress then make sure to find 'a'.
