Dit was mijn eerste Miss Marple verhaal en ik ben zeker niet ontevreden! Het verhaal is overzichtelijk en de moord is origineel (zowel in de aankondiging als in het uitvoeren), maar toch erg onvoorspelbaar (vind ik zelf dan). Ik had tot het einde echt geen flauw idee wie het had gedaan en dat maakte het toch echt lekker spannend.
Ik moet zeggen dat ik vind dat Marple, in vergelijking met Poirot, een vrij kleine rol speelt in het verhaal en dat vind ik wat jammer. Je volgt vooral het politie onderzoek en Marple geeft alleen de ontknoping prijs. Wat mij betreft had zij echt zeker meer in beeld mogen komen.

Of Christie's books that I've read, this is one of my least favorites. I am surprised by this because I heard such high praise for this book. I have a taste for more dynamic mysteries I guess and this was more feel-good in a way. I also found it extremely difficult to remember the names and roles of the characters. It took two months of off-and-on reading to finish this book which means my own memory is definitely to blame. To make myself feel better I'd like to think that the amount of
