I am coming very close to the end of reading all of Agatha Christie's mystery novels and short stories in chronological order. This one, I just found out, was written 30 years before it was published, and I must say that I can tell. It has all the form and character of most of Christie's others during her golden years, though it is a tad predictable. Even once I felt I had it all figured out, I still enjoyed reading it. It had a fresh concept and Miss Marple was as fierce as ever. This one also had a lot less ideology forced on you, which is always a plus. Definitely worth a read.
