Mixed bag, this book. Biggest strength is that Ms Marple is present through the story. Thank god she is, bc it's never really a fun time when Agatha Christie talks about POC lmao. Surprisingly tame and even-handed look at mental illnesses.Â
I knew they weren't going to end up together, but it was fantastic to see someone who believes in Marple's sharp wit and allied with her. I hope he (no spoilers) shows up again.Â

I guessed the murderer about 1/2 through, but Miss Marple's relationship with Mr. Rafiel kept me going. Definitely not the strongest Marple entry.
