![]() ![]() ![]() I really did not care for any of the characters, least of all our narrator Jerry. (Although, of course, she does end up unmasking the killer.) So much of the book is caught up in mundane descriptions of village life (e.g, how the town is laid out) before the action begins. For starters, I kept doubting myself as to whether I had gotten the wrong book, as Miss Marple doesn't show up until two-thirds of the way into the book! Even then, she is so few scenes, it's easy to forget about her. Things quickly escalate and soon the town is investigating murder.This has to be my least favorite of the Miss Marple series by Christie. Someone is anonymously sending letters to people throughout the village accusing them of uncouth acts (e.g., cheating on a spouse). He arrives there with his sister for the rest and relaxation, but they quickly find a drama unfolding in the town. Jerry is sent to the countryside on doctor's orders after a flight accident. ![]()
