Good quick mystery read

A very skilllful and complex story with many characters which all contribute to the mystery.

Perhaps not as intriguing and clever as some Agatha Christie mysteries, it was entertaining nevertheless. Of course l am a devoted fan of the author!

One of Agatha Christie‘s masterpieces. Here we truly get to spend quality time with Miss Marple in her first novel, and while we may be able to enjoy Miss Marple in film and television, here in Agatha Christie‘s own unaltered words, we get to form our own enchantment with her. Agatha Christie’s genius in creating Marple allows us all to fancy ourselves as the amateur sleuth, unlike some of her other more beloved “professional” sleuths. This masterpiece is timeless, a beautiful study in the culture and vocabulary of rural English villages of their time, and a comfy, elegant piece where no word is out of place.

Excellent detail, plot, and characters. Christie has a great way of injecting principles into her work, and it’s always difficult to predict the murderer.

Interesting read.

This was a beautifully written mystery. Loved it.
