"The book that started my obsession with Agatha Christie. Read this when I was 12 and haven't stopped rereading every Agatha Christie novel since. It's my go to book when I can't decide what to read."

"Well I still love Agatha Christie, but this probably wasn’t my favorite by her. It was my first Miss Marple mystery though, and I enjoyed reading about the iconic elderly detective! The village parables were a nice addition, though I would have enjoyed more of them, since Miss Marple only really starts sleuthing about halfway through this.<br/><br/>Aside from that, the story was a little chaotic, and I don’t really buy the ending. But as far as classic though, I’m glad I had the chance to read this!"
