I'll admit that the high rating is partially due to the audiobook I listened to - the narrator had a super soothing voice I just loved listening to and kept me hooked til the end.

Agatha is such a gifted writer and this is a very good book, but it has a semi predictable ending

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. 

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.
