Just finished reading this and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story is masterfully woven. I’ve read a couple of "Poirot" mysteries and some of Christie’s standalone novels but this is my first “Miss Marple” mystery. Miss Marple is a wonderful character and while reading I was always waiting ethusiastically for her to appear throughout the story because she was sort of in the background, I assumed she’d be the main protagonist and the narrator of the story but that wasn’t true, she was a vital character nevertheless. I’ve read that her character changes in the other books so I’m interested to see how. As expected, the ending was a real shocker. I have nothing else to say except that … Christie is brilliant!
