Even though I have either read, listened to or seen as a drama on tv, it is nice to re-visit some of the stories, and can compare it like visiting an old friend. Her work is as still as clever from when she wrote them, so long may she reign as the Queen of Crime!
Collection of Marple shorts. I don't much care for short stories, nor for the practice of using a thin plot to string together short stories (i.e., we're sitting around after dinner and telling each other stories; here they are). And although I thought the stories themselves were okay, I kept falling asleep whilst reading them.

A wonderful little book with lots of mysteries packed into it - 13, to be exact. A great introduction to the world and life of Miss Marple. Even after multiple reads, the charm remains. It is hilarious how the detective, doctor, lawyer, writer and parson - men of the world - are shocked when the prim and proper spinster who has rarely stepped out of sleepy little St. Mary Mead outwits them at every mystery.
