"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.

Loved it! It took me about two days to read and to be honest I got so into it I barely did anything else. The language is easy enough and the story is captivating. Perfect to read in summer.

A great,fast paced and fun mystery novel. The twist was good and overall I liked the story. It's easy to read and I love Agatha Christie's ability to write books that are such a joy to read. They take me out of a reading slump every single time.

I did guess at one time that it was Tim, but I also thought that it might've been Molly so it was still surprising. Also the twist made much more sense than the last book that I read from her.

It was enjoyable but I might take a break from her works since I've  been reading so much of her lately and they don't hit as hard as they did in the past.
