I quite enjoyed the short story format but the constant reel of new characters made it slightly harder to remember who everyone was.

It was my first Miss Marple novel and I did enjoy it but I think I prefer the long story format of a Poirot novel over this one. I didn't feel like I got the the meat of each mystery before it was solved. I can see why this character is a classic and beloved around the world.

This is a great collection of short stories to introduce a person to Miss Marple. I love that they are not the classic, go and solve mysteries but more stories where all the characters are trying to guess the answer. And, you guessed it, Miss Marple knows all the answers.
