"When you think of people, it is in the image you have made of them for yourself."

I always love a Miss Marple, but this one stuck out for me as being really genuinely entertaining. I was worried going in that I might not enjoy the Caribbean setting (only because it's hard to imagine a Marple story not set in an unhinged English village!), but it actually worked so, so well (and I of course loved that our girl Jane was in it from the beginning <3). 

It was a brilliantly compelling read and, whilst I did manage to work out who the culprit was, it was still so intriguing seeing everything come together and there were still some great twists and turns. I absolutely adored a friendship that Miss Marple makes too. Just an all-round super enjoyable time, but with enough trademark underlying darkness!

In the past, I haven't been as taken with Miss Marple as with Poirot, but I quite enjoyed this one. The mystery was also very good - extremely twisty but wrapped up neatly by the end.
