A review by mrsbooknerd
Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie

2.0

I've read a couple of the Miss Marple series and I never like them as much as the Poirot ones. I think with this one, it's because everyone just describes her as this nosy old woman, and because you didn't get her perspective it was a bit hard to like her or support her. I mean, have a shot every time someone calls her and old cat and you'd be out like Protheroe himself.

Plotwise it was quite sparse and a bit meandering. It seemed to capture elements of village life that had little to do with the plot but added to the setting. We kind of dithered about similar events, people or themes throughout the whole book instead of seeing any real progression. There was quite a pleasing humour running through.
