This is the first Agatha Christie book I’ve read, and it was a complete coincidence that I read it on the anniversary of her death.

I liked this story, but I have to say that I am not normally a reader of these types of cozy mysteries. I enjoyed the characters, but there were so many of them that I found myself confused at times when one or another of them would be mentioned.

My biggest problem is that I was expecting this to be a ‘Miss Marple’ book, and yet she only appears in a few scenes, and the story is actually through another character’s perspective. I don’t know if this is the standard for this series, but I would’ve preferred a book through the eyes of the precocious Jane Marple.

I have another Christie on my shelves, and I’m curious to see what I feel about that book.
