Took me a while to really get into this book but once I did I was hooked and couldn‘t wait to find out whodunit. Good old fashion minder mystery. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Though the world feels like a dark, angry place these days, there are brilliant spots of light. And one of those is the unexpected arrival of an early birthday gift from halfway around the world! Thank you, Helen! I really look forward to opening this on the day. And you made my day today. 😊
Bk10 of June & #BigJuneReadathon & Bk2 of #20in4 #readathon is done. The 2nd full Miss Marple story, it starts in St Mary Mead with the discovery of a dead girl in the library at Gossington Hall then to a seaside hotel where the girl worked. Miss Marple & Mrs Bantry go to do some sleuthing & show up the police. Of course! #BookspinBingo #ChristiesCrimeClub
Notes from that book so far (and I did not highlight some mansplaining...)
Slowly working my way through Christie's works. I was excited to get to this one since the movie recently came out. It was a little slow going at first with a lot of character set up but I really enjoyed the twist in the end
Bk9 of June & #BigJuneReadathon & Bk1 of #20in4 #readathon is done! Richard.E.Grant does a wonderful job of bringing this classic cozy to life, I‘m glad I came across it on Scribd. I do love my Poirot but Miss Marple runs a close 2nd with her quiet wisdom & unexpected belief in the worst of human nature. I‘d love a Grandma like her! Highly recommend. #BookspinBingo #AudiobookChallenge2022 #ChristieCrimeClub
Already kicked off my #20in4 #readathon I‘m about halfway through the audiobook of the 1st full Marple novel on Scribd, read by Richard.E.Grant. Set in her village of St Mary Mead, it‘s a wonderful #whodidntdoit Colonel Protheroe is on of the most despised people in the village, so when he‘s shot it‘s a case of who didn‘t have a motive? Happy reading!
Bk8 of June & #BigJuneReadathon is done! I originally read this as a teenager as The Thirteen Problems, I think the above is the US title. One of the Special Edition hardbacks they‘re bringing out each year, I‘m slowly collecting them all. The 1st Marple outing, it‘s a short story anthology collected as a different problem presented by each person at a dinner party. Of course our fluffy old lady solves every one! #BookspinBingo #CloakDaggerChal
Giving Dame Agatha a reread on this chilly Thursday here in Sydney. I first read this years ago as The Thirteen Problems, the above title was the US version. The 1st outing of Miss Marple, it‘s like a short story collection gathered as a regular club meeting where each member presents a mystery only they have the answer to. Of course the “fluffy old lady” solves it every time! One of my favourite Marples. #BigJuneReadathon
