My first intro to Agatha Christie and I very much enjoyed it. The fast pace short story and quick introduction to the characters was enough to set the story but I would have like to know a little bit more about them before we began. I enjoyed the plot of the mystery and the little philosophy lesson with a side of humor. I think I’ll read some more Agatha Christie in the future.

A nice short little mystery perfect for a stormy night in or by the fire

This wasn't amazing, but ofc it was interesting. I find about all Agatha Christie shorts interesting, so it doesn't take much. This one just didn't have the normal wow factor that I feel like is included in most of her stories. I would read it if I wanted something quick to pick up, but otherwise it's easy to skip.

I'm setting out to read (or in some cases reread) the Miss Marple collection and this seems like the obvious starting point; a nice, short introduction that, to the best of my recollection, sets the tone for the rest of the series.
Miss Marple herself takes a backseat to the plot that invades her parlor as the eponymous Tuesday Night Club forms around her and sets out to armchair-detect their way through an, until recently, unsolved mystery. Of course, despite the abundant contemporary intelligence surrounding her, it's Miss Marple who comes up with the 'obvious' solution.
