Finally! A Miss Marple story that I actually had figured out before the sweet old dear unraveled everything for me!

This doesn't happen that often, but in this particular story it was blindingly clear to me what had happened, and how. Don't get me wrong: I didn't guess the backstory. I assumed that this was a crime of opportunism, but the method and the culprit are the same either way.
I don't know if I'm particularly clever this evening, or if Christie just wrote a short that was a little more obvious than most of hers. To be perfectly honest, I suspect the latter. Doesn't matter, I still enjoyed it.

The plot behind the crime in this story was a little more intricate than Christie's previous Miss Marple short stories. Once again I found myself unable to solve it.

This book was interesting and I thought the process was good and fluid. I like the characters and the process of the story, I like how these short books don't take long to read and they start me thinking in a detailed way helping me to look into the work I do better. she is such a classic.
