Womp womp womp. Well, this was probably my least favorite Agatha so far, but I am blaming a lot of it on the narrator. The narrator sounded like your typical English grandma, but about 15 mins in, I realized the character speaking was a man - and it was this way for most of the time. Lil grandma didn't change her voice, or tone, or anything, when she changed characters, so it was pretty tough to follow for a while. The mystery did unfold well, and I had no clue who did it until the very end. This was the first Agatha to feature Mrs. Marple, so that was fun to know, and she's as delightful as ever from the very get-go. Would definitely recommend the read, but would highly recommend not listening to it.
