Gwenda Reed stood, shivering a little, on the quayside.

Miss Jane Marple was sitting by her window. The window looked over her garden, once a source of pride to her.

Mrs. Bantry was dreaming. Her sweet peas had just taken a First at the flower show. The vicar, dressed in cassock and surplice, was giving out the prizes in church.

It is difficult to know quite where to begin this story, but I have fixed my choice on a certain Wednesday at luncheon at the Vicarage.

pickAside from a couple of very bizarre statements about sexual assault, I actually liked this Miss Marple mystery more than I expected to for a late Christie. The twists and turns are enjoyable, with just enough clues to keep me guessing. As always Emilia Fox's narration is excellent. And now I want to go on a guided tour of historic homes and gardens in England.

4.50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie was a wonderful warming read with quirky characters, comedy and of course, the Jane Marple.
Current read is collection of shorts from https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/41170, and finally reading something by Margaret Oliphant, Hoffmann and MR James.

“The great thing in these cases is to keep an absolutely open mind. Most crimes, you see, are so absurdly simple.”

This afternoon I saw a local production of Agatha Christie's Mousetrap, apparently the longest running stage production in the world. It was such a fun play!
pickFinishing my journey with Miss Marple with this collection of all her short stories. I didn't realize that Marple was first introduced to the world in short story form & it was really interesting to read these. I enjoyed finally witnessing Sir Henry's meeting the unassuming old woman and his surprise & awe of her hidden talents for solving mysteries. This collection also contains her final cases & I will definitely miss her quiet efficiency
Oh my goodness. This is at the British Library! They have the most wonderful exhibitions always beautifully presented and usually only on for 3 months. Dame Agatha has a 6 month run! They‘re obviously expecting it to be busy! Can‘t wait 😝
