I have been reading my way through Agatha Christie’s mysteries chronologically and have been relieved to have some familiar characters cropping back up. As much as I love Poirot, I was ready for something different.
This is Miss Marple’s second novel and it is SO much less frustrating than the first. She is treated as a wise consultant as opposed to a crazy old woman. I got really tired of the snide, offensive comments about women in The Murder at the Vicarage.
As always, Miss Marple is a few steps ahead of everyone (including you) in this one. The mystery is complex and the characters are varied and interesting. It’s definitely worth a read.

Love Miss Marple and this eccentric cast of characters. I also liked the sections about the 'real' detectives, less slapstick than in her Poirot books.
