Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
#11 in series (I started reading this series in 2016 , committed in January, 2022 and I switched to audio versions in February, 2022. )
Will I read other installments?Probably Not Maybe Definitely
I only have one more Miss Marple to read. I can take or leave Agatha Christie, which isn't nice to say as an aspiring mystery writer, but it's true. Reading her feels like a chore, but within my duty, I find some great nuggets of Christie's wisdom.
In this book, Christie wrote some AWFUL things about women and rape. Her stance, women say they have been raped to blame men for consensual sex. This was repeated twice in the book and not disputed by any other characters. This fear of being blamed and being called a liar is why most women will never report being sexually assaulted. This was written in 1971, so I hope it would not be published today.
Comparison to others in series:Not as good About the same Better
The narrator was Emilia Fox. I continue to enjoy Emilia's voice.
