I finished it rather quickly. The middle section picks up significantly and was enjoyable - the crime interviews and such - but the beginning backstory with Miss Marple is boring and the ending wasn’t super satisfying to me. It’s outmoded and sexist and relies a lot on prejudices. The fact that the butler was Italian was mentioned like 10 times lol. Maybe this genre just isn’t for me?
